Top TV News Anchor Admits to Having Horrific Abuse Pics of Kids
Huw Edwards, the BBC’s most senior news anchor before being pulled off the air last July, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children.
The 62-year-old, who ultimately left the British broadcaster in April, admitted the charges at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London. Edwards, who was the man the BBC trusted to deliver major news stories including the death of Queen Elizabeth II, now faces up to 10 years in prison.
The plea comes after Edwards was suspended from the BBC in July 2023 over separate allegations. He was arrested in November and then charged last month.
