Huw Edwards
Former BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children.
According to the Metropolitan Police, the offences are alleged to have taken place between 2020 and 2022 and relate to 37 images that were shared on a WhatsApp chat.
The force revealed on Monday that the 62-year-old broadcaster was arrested last November and charged last month.
He is due to appear in court in London on Wednesday.
Mr. Edwards is accused of having six category A images, the most serious classification of indecent images, on a phone.
He is also accused of having 12 category B pictures and 19 category C photographs.
Mr. Edwards left the BBC in April.
He was previously the corporation's most high-profile and best-paid news anchor, one of the main presenters on BBC One's Ten O'Clock News, and was often chosen to front coverage of major national events.
