A former BBC information presenter appeared in court docket on Monday (16 September 2024) to be sentenced for accessing indecent photographs of youngsters despatched to him by a person by way of the messaging service WhatsApp.
Huw Edwards, considered one of British tv’s most recognisable faces, pleaded responsible in July to a few costs of creating indecent photographs of youngsters. The 62-year-old actor may face jail time, though prosecutors acknowledged a suspended sentence may be acceptable.
Mr Edwards’ case could possibly be despatched to the crown court docket for sentencing if the presiding decide decides he doesn’t have the suitable powers to condemn the broadcaster on Monday (16 September 2024).
