Edwards charged with making indecent images of children

Edwards, who left the BBC in April, will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court tomorrow on charges relating to images shared on a WhatsApp chat.

He spent 40 years at the BBC, where he was its highest-paid newsreader at the time of his resignation, with a salary of £435,000-£439,999 in the year 2022-23.

Edwards, 62, who lives in Southwark, London, was charged last month after an investigation by the Met police, the force said.
