Edwards, 62, was the BBC's highest paid news presenter and anchored the broadcaster's "BBC News at Ten" bulletin for more than two decades. He resigned in April.
He has been charged with three counts of making an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child relating to images found on a child's phone, according to court documents.
A London police spokesperson said:
"The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat. Edwards was arrested on 8 November, 2023. He was charged on Wednesday, 26 June following authorization from the Crown Prosecution Service."He was bailed to appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Edwards was one of the main faces at the BBC until his departure, announcing the death of Queen Elizabeth to the nation, and leading coverage of the biggest events in Britain since the turn of the century, including elections, royal weddings and the 2012 Olympics.
He quit on medical advice after allegations emerged that he had paid a young person thousands of pounds for sexually explicit photos.
One has to question whether Huw Edwards was a victim of a NWO doctrine which says that it's ok for adults to have sex with children? This is the result of allowing oneself to be led by these indoctrinated morons who have infiltrated every gov't. These morons are easy to spot because they go off like sirens when their indoctrination is challenged with questions.
If Huw Edwards had been a top politician, he would be back at work already.
