Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards is due to be sentenced for accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.
The veteran broadcaster arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court this morning after he admitted three charges of "making" indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams over WhatsApp.Edwards is on conditional bail and scheduled to be sentenced at 10am on Monday, following his guilty pleas in July.
He said: "There's nothing more important than public trust in the BBC, and we are custodians of that trust and what Huw Edwards did damaged the reputation and the trust for the BBC so we take that very seriously indeed."I should say, it was a shock to discover, when it was announced, when he was charged, that he had led this double life."On the face of it, a trusted news presenter, but hidden, secretly, he was this figure who did the most appalling things.
