The stepfather of the teenager who was groomed and sent money by Huw Edwards for sexual images has branded the BBC's workplace review "a load of rubbish".
He accused the corporation of "papering over the cracks" following the damning report into workplace culture.
"People knew what was going on with Huw Edwards, and they ignored it. Those people should be sacked," he said.
The comments come after Edwards, 63, was handed a six-month suspended sentence last September for accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.
Huw Edwards previously admitted to "making" indecent images of children PAGB News has contacted the BBC over the claims made by the victim's family to The Sun. The former BBC News presenter admitted three charges of "making" indecent photographs.
A damning review has revealed that some BBC staff were considered "untouchables" who could get away with unacceptable behaviour and in some cases "continue to thrive" within the organisation.
The 62-page report, ordered following Edwards' conviction, concluded that managers at the corporation have failed to tackle poor conduct. Despite this, the review ruled out the presence of a widespread "toxic" culture within the BBC's studios and newsrooms.
It acknowledged that the bad behaviour of "a minority...is not addressed" but did not name any individuals.

BBC bosses have vowed to act on the findings and "draw a line in the sand".
BBC chairman Dr Samir Shah announced that a "Call It Out" hotline will be established for staff to report bad behaviour.
"After today, let me state it clearly, if you think you're too big a star or too important to live by the values of this organisation, not only are you wrong, but we will find you out," he said.
The report, to which 2,500 staff and freelancers contributed, recommended the corporation take quicker action when staff step out of line.
A joint note to staff from Mr Shah and BBC Director-General Tim Davie stated: "Today is the day we draw a line in the sand."
Critics noted a similar report commissioned in 2013 after the Jimmy Savile scandal failed to make significant changes.
The report comes in the wake of several high-profile BBC stars being sacked for inappropriate behaviour.
Last August, Jermaine Jenas was abruptly dismissed from his £190,000 job on The One Show for sending "inappropriate messages" to two female colleagues.
Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice was removed from the show following complaints, while fellow dancer Graziano Di Prima was sacked after claims of gross misconduct.
MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace stepped down last year while complaints from 13 women about historical allegations of misconduct were investigated, which he denies.

This month, Russell Brand, a former BBC Radio 2 presenter, was charged with rape and sexual assault against four women.
The report found that "a small number of people can become 'untouchable' in the eyes of colleagues" who are "known for getting away with poor behaviour".
It revealed that some presenters' names were mentioned separately by several different employees.
One team member reported being told it would be "career-limiting" if they chose to complain about an "untouchable" presenter.
The review also highlighted that three in 10 freelancers who participated said they had faced inappropriate behaviour.
"The BBC states that it has zero tolerance for unacceptable behaviour, but the words do not align with the lived experience of a number of people," the report concluded.
