Huw Edwards, a 62-year-old former BBC News presenter, has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children, involving 37 images allegedly shared on WhatsApp between December 2020 and April 2022. The alleged offences potentially involved a child's phone.

Edwards resigned from the BBC on "medical advice". He was arrested in November 2023. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison and is scheduled to appear in court in London.

Edwards presented the BBC's evening news for 20 years and covered major events like the Queen's death, royal weddings, and coronations. He was one of the highest-paid journalists at the BBC and a respected political correspondent.

He is married to TV producer Vicky Flind, and has five children.

The news presenter resigned from the BBC in April 2023 following "medical advice," amid allegations that he paid a young person for sexually explicit photos. His wife confirmed he was the individual targeted by the accusations and that he was receiving treatment in the hospital due to mental health issues.

The BBC apologized for shortcomings in handling complaints regarding Edwards, and the Director General acknowledged that developments related to Edwards were damaging to the organization.
