Allegations Against TV Star in BBC Presenter Row: “Inappropriate, Threatening Messages”

There are four charges against Huw Edwards, a BBC News presenter who is purportedly accused of paying for sexually graphic images. Edwards, who earned £435,000 year and hosted the BBC’s flagship show “News at 10,” was the fourth-highest-paid broadcaster.

According to BBC Newsnight, the now-suspended BBC broadcaster reportedly sent “inappropriate messages” to coworkers on social media. The ex-employee said they had never seen the broadcaster but had yet received messages from him through social media, “some late at night and signed off with kisses,” which they thought to be a “abuse of power.”

Charges Leveled Against BBC News Anchor
The first claims claimed that a 17-year-old was paid around £35,000 by an anonymous news presenter for sexually graphic photos. The BBC celebrity apparently made a video call while wearing just his underpants. The male broadcaster apparently contacted the child twice after the charges were made public and reportedly asked them in a panic, “What have you done?” and requested that their mother halt the probe. This was according to The Sun.

According to BBC, the person in their early 20s who got the threatening texts from the broadcaster after they met on a dating app is unrelated to the individual in The Sun’s first claim. The BBC claims to have seen the “threatening messages” and has established that they originated from the unidentified man’s phone number.

According to another set of claims, a 17-year-old claimed they were the celebrity’s Instagram followers when he messaged them using kisses and love hearts, according to The Sun on Tuesday.

Separately, according to The Sun on Wednesday, a 23-year-old individual has alleged that the BBC broadcaster violated lockdown regulations to meet them during the pandemic in February 2021.

According to the London Police, there is no proof that the BBC presenter who reportedly paid a kid for pornographic images committed a crime. The mother of the youngster complained to the BBC in May about the broadcaster paying the child 35,000 pounds ($45,000) every year beginning in 2020 when the individual is 17 years old. The parents of the teen allegedly informed The Sun tabloid last week that the presenter had been let to continue on television. In a statement, the BBC acknowledged that it had “first learned of a complaint in May.”

But a teenage client’s unnamed attorney, speaking on behalf of the kid, earlier this week assured the BBC that “nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality.” According to the lawyer, the claims made in The Sun were “rubbish,” according to AP. The BBC said that it will keep looking into the situation.
