Former BBC Anchor Charged With Making Indecent Images of Children
A former BBC presenter has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children, the London Metropolitan Police has announced.
Huw Edwards, once a darling of the BBC who led the coverage of Queen Elizabeth’s death and subsequent funeral, was originally suspended by the corporation back in 2023 over inappropriate communications with a young man. He later resigned from the position, citing health reasons.
In his final years at the BBC, Edwards was one of its highest paid anchors, with an annual salary of around £435,000 ($565,000).
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement:
Huw Edwards, 62, of Southwark, London has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children following a Met Police investigation.
