Huw Edwards: BBC chair knew of arrest before ‘Poor Huw’ comment

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday, Edwards pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children.

He admitted having 41 indecent and illegal images on his phone. Seven were in the most serious category, and two featured a child between around seven and nine years old.

There is no suggestion Dame Elan Closs Stephens had been made aware that police had charged Edwards.

The former BBC Chair’s “poor Huw” comments referred to initial allegations about Edwards’s private life which were published by The Sun newspaper last summer.

Those allegations were separate to the recent criminal case and did not lead to criminal charges.

She then went on to praise Edwards for what she deemed to be his “huge contribution”.

When asked to respond to the BBC’s statement, Dame Elan Closs Stephens said: “As I’ve already stated, the details which emerged in court were horrific and came as a huge shock to me and the people of Wales.”
