The BBC would have sacked Huw Edwards if he had been charged with making indecent images of children while employed by them.
In a statement released after the former news anchor pleaded guilty to three offences in court this morning. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The BBC is shocked to hear the details which have emerged in court today. There can be no place for such abhorrent behaviour and our thoughts are with all those affected.
At the time, no charges had been brought against Mr Edwards and the BBC had also been made aware of significant risk to his health. 'Today we have learnt of the conclusion of the police process in the details as presented to the court. If at any point during the period Mr Edwards was employed by the BBC he had been charged, the BBC had determined it would act immediately to dismiss him. In the end, at the point of charge he was no longer an employee of the BBC.
