Former BBC News presenter admitted three counts at Westminster magistrates court
Edwards, 62, admitted the offences, which took place between December 2020 and April 2022, when he appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday.
Wearing a dark suit and tie, Edwards glanced at members of the press sitting in the public gallery, before staring straight ahead as proceedings began. After admitting the charges, he sat staring into the distance, adjusting his tie as Ian Hope, prosecuting, laid out the case against him. The court heard that Edwards had been involved in an online chat with an adult man on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021 who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.On 2 February 2021 the man asked whether what he was sending was too young, in response to which Edwards told him not to send any underage images, the court heard.
