Edwards child porn charges: BBC told 'hours' before it became public

The former presenter was the face of the BBC at major state events including the King’s Coronation before resigning this April.

He is due in court tomorrow to face three charges of making indecent images of children between December 2020 and April 2022 after 37 indecent images were allegedly shared on a WhatsApp chat.

Guidance from the Crown Prosecution Service states that “making indecent images can have a wide definition in the law and can include opening an email attachment containing such an image, downloading one from a website, or receiving one via social media, even if unsolicited and even if part of a group”.
