Huw Edwards, once the BBC‘s highest-paid news anchor, has received a six-month suspended prison sentence and apologized for the “repugnant” nature of his offenses after pleading guilty to being in possession of child abuse images earlier this year.

Edwards, a 63-year-old presenter at the peak of his powers until last year, pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in July.

During a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Monday, he was sentenced. Handing down the verdict, judge Paul Goldspring said Edwards’ prison sentence would be suspended for two years, meaning he will not go to jail.
