Huw Edwards, veteran BBC presenter, has been at the center of a recent controversy. His wife Vicky Flind released a statement to the PA News Agency identifying Huw as the "BBC presenter" who was accused of paying a 17 year old for explicit photographs.
Today, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that there is no evidence to indicate a criminal offence has been committed. Vicky, in light of the recent reporting, has released a statement on her husband's behalf.
The statement explains that Huw is currently suffering from serious mental health issues. He has been treated for severe depression in recent years, and the events of the past few days have greatly worsened matters. He is now receiving in-patient hospital care for the foreseeable future.
Vicky has asked for privacy for her family and everyone else caught up in the events, and that Huw is deeply sorry that so many colleagues have been impacted by the media speculation.
