Huw Edwards sentence - former BBC star avoids jail over child abuse image offences


The former BBC newsreader has been appearing at a court in Westminster, London

The magistrate said that Edwards - whose long career at the BBC included announcing the death of the Queen - did not pose a risk to the public or children and an immediate custodial sentence was not necessary because evidence suggested he could be rehabilitated. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court having pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children. The 63 year old father of five previously admitted three charges of "making" indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams over WhatsApp.
