Young Man Who Sent BBC Presenter Huw Edwards Indecent Images Breaks Silence: “I Felt Groomed”


The then teenager has given his first interview since the BBC star was convicted, saying, "I felt groomed."

When his parents complained to the BBC and went to The Sun, Edwards was furious, and the young man tried to protect him by denying anything untoward had occurred. The newspaper initially didn’t name the broadcaster involved in the story, but Edwards’ wife subsequently identified him, and said he was receiving hospital care after “a serious mental health episode.” He was subsequently charged with three counts of making indecent images of children, resigned from the BBC in April and entered a guilty plea in court this week.
