    The Spin

    Huw Edwards was the face of the BBC, one of Britain's most trusted institutions, for decades. No one knew he had this dark side — but now that the charges have been confirmed, this will follow him wherever he goes for the rest of his existence.

    While this is the end of Edwards' career, questions will loom over the BBC about how they handled this situation. How soon did they know and did they take sufficient action? The broadcaster may suffer long-term reputational damage as a result of how it dealt with this.
