Huw Edwards scandal: Inside the BBC a troubled year, from shock to anger

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

Huw Edwards has gone from being king of the BBC newsroom to a convicted sex offender.

He has admitted having 41 indecent images, which had been sent to him by another man on WhatsApp .

He will be sentenced on Monday for making indecent images of children on Monday .

One BBC staffer speaks of "feeling sick" and "a bombshell" for staff.

Senior BBC staff do not believe the civil enforcement of an employment contract would have kept him in his job.

The disciplinary process the BBC launched into Edwards after the Sun claims - including details of other allegations made about him - has never been published.

A more muscular approach, certainly in hindsight, would have helped protect the BBC 's reputation.
