Ex-BBC anchor Huw Edwards to be sentenced over indecent child images
Huw Edwards, a highly recognizable former BBC anchor, appeared in court for sentencing after pleading guilty to three charges of making indecent images of children.
Edwards admitted to possessing 41 indecent images, including seven of the most serious type, with victims ranging from 7 to 15 years old.
His illustrious 40-year career and trusted public image are now in ruins, having resigned from the BBC and facing a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
The scandal further damages the BBC's reputation, which has faced criticism for its handling of the case and its history with past sex offender revelations among its staff.
