BBC bosses were warned that a complaint was made about Huw Edwards as far back as 2012, a dossier of emails has revealed.
An email titled 'private and confidential' was sent to BBC director-general Tim Davie, an hour before Britain's most famous newsreader was due to be sentenced over making indecent images of children on September 16 2024.
The disgraced presenter was given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after he admitted having 41 indecent images of children which were sent to him by paedophile Alex Williams on WhatsApp.
Moments before Edwards entered the dock, Mr Davie was warned that a complaint had been made about the Welsh newsreader's conduct in the aftermath of the Jimmy Savile scandal in 2012 - some 10 years before Edwards was suspended.
Mr Davie was sent the email by a former BBC employee, who said he wished to 'personally and potentially flag an area of risk to the Corporation that you may not be previously aware of'.
