BBC Boss Tim Davie Says Huw Edwards Won’t Work for Broadcaster Again: ‘He’s Been Convicted of Appalling Crimes’
BBC boss Tim Davie was speaking the day after Huw Edwards was sentenced for making indecent images of children.
Beleaguered director general Davie made his first public remarks the morning after Edwards, once the highest paid news reporter at the corporation, was sentenced for making indecent images of children. The BBC has admitted it continued to pay Edwards, who went on sick last summer leave following an unrelated scandal involving a teenager, until April of this year when he resigned, despite bosses at the broadcaster being made aware he had been charged in relation to the indecent images last November. The corporation has been rocked by a number of scandals over recent months, including allegations about harassment behind the scenes at one of its most popular shows, “Strictly Come Dancing,” and continued questioning over its reporting of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
