Huw Edwards

Lol, anyone that backed that will have been super chuffed, wish all the so called pros would try as hard.

Very true doorman.

Mind you, he has a good backup source of funds...

Awaiting sentence, let's see if he gets more than 3 years which is what the 'rioter' who growled menacingly at a police dog got!

Crimes against the state such as the rioters were odds on to cop for stiffer ( deterrent ) sentences,
I am all for it personally.

He ain't getting banged up so forget about that.

He's part of the 'Establishment'. Suspended sentence and some Community Service. Anybody else, 3 years!

6 months suspended

Not even community service. He's a wrong'un.This country is so #ucked!

he is truly sorry tho . horrible khant how many more lurking in the shadows ?

Ar5ole lucky.

How possibly can that be right!!!

The usual rubbish from the defence lawyers ,mental health problems,may have drank alcohol before he looked at the pictures ,hasn't done anything since then ( hardly surprising after he'd been caught ) ,and he's sorry .A vile individual .

Laws for us, Laws for them.

I couldn't care less about the poor rioters moaning about harsh treatment in sentencing - tough sh't for them.

However, I do wonder about anyone who commits the same crime as Edwards - will they get such lenient treatment or not? That's a far more important question...

Cannot think that is right. Men a few weeks ago getting jailed for a carpet - pushing people.
If I was a young un now, my boundaries would be wide behaviour wise. fcking disgraceful.

the riots a geezer  growling at a police dog gets 3 years

Fecking mad world we live in. Sex offenders released to make way for 3year sentences for rioters acting menacingly towards police and 5year sentences for peaceful protesters. One of these released sex offenders assaulted a woman the same day ffs. Meanwhile Huw Edwards get six months suspended sentence for child abuse (and that's the impact that indecent images of children have on those young people who are made to appear in them). 

Government has a great sense of proportion.

That truly beggars belief, children involved and he walks away.
Absolutely sickening.

He must of read out the news about saville,glitter why would he do this.its not like he didn’t know.

Absolute scandal but are we surprised?
All sentences should be comparable
A one off situation where somebody shouts or makes signs at police or their dogs gets 3 years
As against somebody on more than one occasion is paying for images of children as young as seven... 6 months suspended, Sir

Fair enough he is not hurting anybody but himself.....A walking pariah till the Day he dies.

May i have got this all wrong but how is sending him to Prison going to stop him w@nking over children.

May be

it doesn't send out a deterant to others who get their kicks outta images of kids acey !

Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring says he accepts Huw Edwards didn't pay in exchange for images.
He says he made payments to convicted paedophile Alex Williams as an apparent "thank you" after he sent pornographic images but didn't purchase them in the traditional sense.

So he sends the pedo £1,500 but that wasn't for the photos he got

That's bolIocks Acey, viewing and paying to view indecent images of children encourages abuse of those young people who are made to appear in those images.

Agree, it's not a victimless crime is it

Like i said the man is a walking pariah seems a decent deterent to me.

It's a strange thing is justice - the rich people can pay for expensive lawyers who get deals like this, whilst the poor get stuffed

I thought Huw asked the other bloke not to send him kids, or am I mixing him up with some other nonce case?

Won't be long before P is added to the LGBXYZ acronym and 8 year olds are getting death threats for being paedophobic

magistrates can only give 12mths max.

Not quite GoBallistic. There is another case looming where victims are complaining about abuse by other kids, so maybe the idea that underage sex doesn't matter provided both are young is under threat.

Rico, 1430 post
But magistrates can send the case up to Crown Court if they think that their sentencing powers are insufficient

Although, I agree that this is normally sorted out beforehand

Rico

I will bow to your greater knowledge of the judicial system.

Joke innit,
But what can YOU do,your a bit predictable,think the team have gone stale,need new tactics,

Might start one at the back has not much threat coming forward.

I feel sorry for his kids - how can THEY show their faces in public. I'm just trying to imagine how I would feel if it was my dad in this situation. The first thing is probably change my surname via deed poll. Might have to move to a different company where I wouldn't be recognised. The worst type of embarrassment one could possibly imagine!

Has Steve Bruce nods another long ball clear back upfield.

Players looking at the bench ,

.....................

Really?

Thinking about it in a bit more depth it was not a very clever thing to say...I take it back.

Not commenting on the sentence but I don't think anyone should underestimate the things you can do when in depressed state that you wouldn't do when mentally healthy.

Brian, agree with you on that, but nearly every solicitor claims that their client is, or was, suffering from some sort of mental health disorder
How is the judge or magistrates to know if it's true, or to what part it played in their actions?

Hi Reg, that is what a judge has to do, I think he accepted it in this case but I'm only making a general health point.


My own uneducated view was that the judge got the sentence correct in the way that these crimes are guidelined (only 20% of guilty persons go to jail) but that the guidelines or law should be tightened so that the expectation is that you will be jailed if convicted.

Hello Brian
Yes it's probably the sentencing guidelines that need changing
The old saying that justice needs to be seen to be done

This is unreal. “ In his sentencing remarks, Paul Goldspring, the chief magistrate, said he had considered how Edwards had sought to explain his behaviour to psychiatrists by suggesting he had endured a difficult relationship with his “monstrous” father and had suffered low self-esteem after failing to get into Oxford and going to Cardiff University instead.”

*Respect* Acey

You were spot on Storm.

money  talks with it you can buy the best legal team who will   come out with the depression ,alcohol ,abusive father ,didn't get into Oxford poor thing ! and get you a lenient sentence ! if you cant afford a good legal team be prepared for a stay at one of the kings no star hotels .

Tim Davey, Director General of the BBC, this morning announced that he couldn't see Huw Edwards working for the organisation again!!!
Did anyone think he would?
He also restated that they have asked him to repay 200k of wages.

maybe someone should ask Tim what edwards was doing at the bbc to justify a salary of £480,000 a year ??

and exactly what does he do himself to merit £527,000 pa ??

and the rest of them at the beeb, all on absolutely outrageous dosh.

Piece of Shyte should be in jail.
Money or no Money the rule should be same for everyone,
like Prince Andrew snaked his way out with his wealth.

June 2023

Huw Edwards has revealed that he was rejected by Oxford University but said that it was the making of him as a successful journalist

September 2024

This created an "enduring cognitive dissonance and low self-esteem", which was "compounded by a sense of being inferior" by not getting into Oxford University and going to Cardiff instead and "being therefore something of an outsider at the BBC".


make ya mind up Huwy ...

“Huw Edwards: Attorney general under pressure to appeal against ‘lenient’ sentence for ex-BBC presenter” : The Independent

300 K pension from the BBC to come 

As for mental Illness , strange how he only realised he had Mental Issues when the Sh1t hit the fan

The 'Villains' have whacked the Young Boys tonight

The sentence is extremely lenient for a case of this nature (border line paedophile) no doubt taking into account his former high public profile and his (then) mental health. Now, with his refusal (requests from The BBC) to return £200k, and negotiations on-going I think the lenient sentence ought to be referred back to the Court of Appeal for review.

But, apparently under current rules this cannot happen if a sentence has been handed down at a Magistrate's Court; only sentences handed down by Crown Courts can be looked at under the scheme.

Pulling the pud watching kids being abused is the most vomit inducing thing imaginable….

Butter wouldn’t melt type……creep.
