FORMER BBC presenter Huw Edwards has admitted accessing indecent photographs of children as young as seven after a man he met online sent him hundreds of sexual images on WhatsApp.
Westminster Magistrates' Court was told seven of the 41 indecent images sent to the veteran broadcaster by the unnamed male were of the most serious type.
The final indecent image was sent in August 2021, a category A film featuring a young boy, with the man telling the newsreader the child was "quite young looking" and that he had more images which were illegal.
Edwards told him not to send any illegal images, the court was told in a 26-minute hearing.
He appeared nervous, fidgeting with his hands as Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring told him he would not be sentencing him on Wednesday.
