London: Former BBC news anchor Huw Edwards, one of the most recognisable faces on UK television, has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children, police said Monday.
Edwards, who resigned from the BBC in April on "medical advice", six months after he was initially arrested, was charged on June 26 and has been bailed to appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, police added.
The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat, police said in a statement.
Edwards, 62, was the BBC's lead presenter on key events, such as the death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, but was suspended in July 2023 when allegations first emerged.
He had also been the anchor of the BBC's flagship 10:00 pm news programme since 2003.
