Huw Edwards Faces Allegations of Grooming, Paid £2,000 and £35,000 for Explicit Photos
Aug 3, 2024, 06:53 AM
Huw Edwards, a former BBC news presenter, is facing serious allegations involving the grooming of young people over a period of six years. Edwards allegedly used his position of power to solicit explicit images from vulnerable individuals, including a cash-strapped young man whom he paid £2,000 for naked pictures. In one instance, Edwards offered £35,000 for explicit photos. The scandal has escalated as a teenager at the center of the allegations has broken his silence, expressing feelings of being groomed and sickened upon learning that Edwards was charged with possessing child sexual abuse images. Edwards reportedly sent some of these messages via WhatsApp and even from his BBC desk. The situation further intensified when Edwards was confronted by the stepfather of one of the young individuals he allegedly paid for explicit photos.
