Huw Edwards' wife released a statement Wednesday that confirmed Edwards as the elusive "BBC presenter" under investigation for an alleged sexting scandal.
Last week, the BBC said it was taking "very seriously" allegations that one of its presenters had paid a 17-year-old for explicit images. The Sun first reported the accusations about a "well-known" BBC presenter, who was not named because of U.K. privacy laws.
That lack of identification sent rumors and accusations flying, and some BBC presenters became the subject of speculation. Several swiftly made statements denying they were the person in question.
