Police not taking further action into allegations as Huw Edwards named as BBC presenter
The Metropolitan Police has said that no criminal offence has been committed after investigating the allegations that the BBC presenter, now named as newsreader Huw Edwards, had paid for sexually explicit images.
The Metropolitan Police said that it would not be taking any further action over the presenter. Following the police update, a spokesperson for the BBC said: “We have seen the statement from the police confirming they have completed their assessment and are not taking further action. "We’re grateful to them for completing this work at speed. 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.”Huw Edwards was named in a statement released to the PA news agency on Thursday by his wife Vicky Flind.
“Huw is suffering from serious mental health issues. As is well documented, he has been treated for severe depression in recent years. The events of the last few days have greatly worsened matters, he has suffered another serious episode and is now receiving in-patient hospital care where he’ll stay for the foreseeable future.
“Once well enough to do so, he intends to respond to the stories that have been published." She added that Huw was first told about the allegations made against him last Thursday and asked for her family's privacy to be respected.
