1:42Now PlayingThe BBC was aware in November 2023 that former newsreader Huw Edwards had been arrested over the most serious category of indecent images of children, the corporation's director general has said.
Asked why the BBC chose not to sack Edwards after they became aware of his arrest, Tim Davie has said the police requested that the information remain confidential - adding that "we knew it was serious" but specific details were not made available.
Edwards was arrested last November while he was suspended from the BBC after allegations were published in The Sun about an unnamed presenter paying a teenager for explicit photos.
He pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children.
