The 62-year-old had 41 photographs on WhatsApp, including seven of the most serious type.
Former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards has pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children. The 62-year-old, who arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court wearing a dark blue suit, blue tie, and dark sunglasses, admitted committing three offences between December 2020 and April 2022. He had 41 photographs - seven category A images, 12 category B pictures, and 22 category C - on the messaging app WhatsApp.
Category A images are the most serious and include penetrative sexual activity, sexual activity with an animal or sadism, while category B images involve non-penetrative sexual activity. Category C means the images do not fall into categories A or B and do not depict any sexual activity. Edwards was one of the BBC's highest-profile and highest-paid presenters before he resigned in April.
