The Metropolitan Police has said that no criminal offence has been committed after investigating the allegations that the BBC presenter, now named as newsreader Huw Edwards, had paid for sexually explicit images.
The Metropolitan Police said that it would not be taking any further action over the presenter. Following the police update, a spokesperson for the BBC said: “We have seen the statement from the police confirming they have completed their assessment and are not taking further action.
"We’re grateful to them for completing this work at speed. The police had previously asked us to pause our fact finding investigations and we will now move forward with that work, ensuring due process and a thorough assessment of the facts, whilst continuing to be mindful of our duty of care to all involved.”
