July 12, 2023Huw Edwards, 61, is one of the most recognisable faces on British television. Now, he has confirmed that he is the man who has been in the news for the wrong reasons recently.
“The police had previously asked us to pause our fact finding investigations and we will now move forward with that work, ensuring due process and a thorough assessment of the facts, whilst continuing to be mindful of our duty of care to all involved.”The story of the private life of the broadcaster has been front page news in the U.K. since last weekend when The Sun broke the news of claims that he’d paid £35,000 to a young person for sexual pictures over several years.
In fact, the lawyer said the young person had contacted The Sun a few days earlier to inform them of that."For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality and the allegations reported in the Sun newspaper are rubbish," the lawyer wrote, said the BBC.On Tuesday, there was more damaging news for Edwards, however.
