Huw Edwards Accused of Grooming Teen Musician

Huw Edwards, the former BBC newsreader, faces serious allegations of attempting to groom a teenage musician after he saw him perform while wearing a school uniform. According to the accusations, Edwards, 63, invited the 18-year-old, referred to as Emyr, for a personal tour of the BBC, promising to assist with his music career while sending suggestive messages, including calling him 'babe' and 'big boy.' The claims, featured in a new documentary, highlight that Edwards introduced Emyr to colleagues as a 'friend' with 'musical talent' but never followed through on promises of opportunities. Emyr expressed concerns over Edwards' behavior, stating that it constituted a form of grooming, and criticized the BBC for not having adequate safety checks. After a few months of communication, Edwards allegedly unfollowed Emyr on social media, indicating a loss of interest. These allegations come in the wake of Edwards' previous legal troubles involving indecent images of children.
