Former BBC Presenter Huw Edwards Charged With ‘Making Indecent Images of Children,’ Police Say

As a devoted cinephile and fervent admirer of journalistic integrity, I find myself utterly dismayed and saddened by the recent news of Huw Edwards‘ arrest and subsequent charges. Huw, a distinguished figure in British broadcasting, has been a staple of my television screen for decades. His voice and delivery have guided me through some of the most significant moments in recent history, including the sad demise of Queen Elizabeth II.


Former BBC News anchor Huw Edwards has been charged with making indecent images of children.

Based on a BBC news article, Edwards, selected as the broadcaster to announce Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in 2022, now faces three charges for this offense.

A Metropolitan Police representative spoke to the media: “Huw Edwards, a 62-year-old man from Southwark, London, has been taken into custody by the Met Police for producing three indecent child images. The alleged offenses occurred between December 2020 and April 2022, and are linked to a WhatsApp conversation. Edwards was apprehended on November 8, 2023. He was formally charged on June 26 after receiving approval from the Crown Prosecution Service. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 31 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. It’s crucial that no information be disseminated, including online, which might negatively impact upcoming legal proceedings.”

A spokesperson for the BBC declined to comment.
