It was Huw

[pyjamalife]

According to his wife...

Yes very conveniently

Its hardly grooming when the person was selling himself on Only Fans and charging money for pictures of himself.

It is absolutely appalling that people are libelling this man when the police have been clear no crime has been committed.

"The Metropolitan Police and South Wales Police both said this evening that no criminal offence had been committed by the presenter. The BBC had paused its internal probe into the claims Mr Edwards paid the teenager for explicit pictures - and that investigation will now continue."

Does anyone have a source for him actually being in The Priory?

Still can't believe his wife having to dig him out of this fucking hole!

Quoted by who?

Ive been at work all day and dealing with life issues of my own.

Also, did this person…say it’s Jeremy Vine for instance, I have no idea, have something to gain by saying something like this, so that the person was forced to be ‘outed’ as it were. Could there also be a meaning to the ‘long game’ that is different to what people like you have interpreted it to mean so that it suits a narrative you want to promote!

Given the man is already tried by social media and the sun, it would further harm his reputation to lie about being mentally ill…don’t you think?

Course not. People are still just running with what they want to believe rather than waiting for actual information.

What hole has he been dug out of? He’s still in the hole!!

🙌👏

Absolutely.

There has no crime been committed.

This is all is all from THE SUN (news) paper!

THE SUN!!!

Mumsnet believes it 😂 every word!

Who have now released a statement saying they’ll publish no further accusations. Funny that eh?

@Supergirl1958 to be honest I don't really care either way. If he is genuinely mentally.ill then as with any other human, he is entitled to appropriate care and help.

HOWEVER the general public have a right to say they don't want to see his grubby face on their TV screens any longer.

Sorry, that's not right. The probability of being a TV presenter is irrelevant. If your probabilities were right and independent, the relevant probability would be that of being both gay and a hebephile=1%. You'd then need to decide how big your pool of presenters is to calculate the probability that at least 2 share these characteristics.

Except for those mimsnetters who think a poison pen letter is concrete proof that George Osborne is a sex offender 🙄

There doesn't seem to be much factual evidence out there. I will reserve judgement for now as there seems a fair possibility that the allegations are simply untrue.

Exactly! Hardly scandal free since 1989 themselves hey?

Maybe I just like to see the good in people instead of believing the narrative people want us to go down.

Or maybe just maybe I’ve witnessed a lot more evil in this world in my lifetime, than this!

Gutter press

And mumsnet typically have their knickers in a twist over it!

Whatever snarky responses come easily, about his wealth or whatever, and I am sure they come deservedly from experiences that won't get much help or sympathy, he is fundamentally a person in a personal crisis.

All the posters seizing on the mental health issue, and saying other posters are being naive for "falling for it" - is it not documented that he has had long term depression?

Also - how naive are you for falling directly into the Sun's lap on this? You are literally doing their job for them. They drop a titbit of juicy gossip into the public domain, unsubstantiated, non-evidenced, and let the social media mob do the rest, and wow! Lo and behold, the darling Tories, Boris Johnson and their inconvenient Covid inquiry are off the front pages for days. Oh and now, the police say "nothing criminal here," and the Sun says, "we have no plans to publish any further allegations" because our job is done here and everyone's talking about Huw Edwards and not the^ actual fucking criminals who serve in government while under suspicion of rape^ let alone any number of other things that have been happening over the last 10 years in our so called government. Wake the fuck up to the power the media has in this country.

As a mother to a daughter yes I would definitely care and I read the age was 17? Either way a grown arse man, no pun intended with wife and kids shouldn't be doing what he did. It's just sleazy and what responses do you see on mumsnet time and time again when partner is caught sexting and sending pics of himself. LTB. So why is this different?

That's exactly what I've just been saying to my friend.

Any "mental health treatment" will be privately funded, probably in the priory where the celebrities flock to when they've been caught out doing something immoral. Katie price is a good example of that.

There is categorically no way he will have been hospitalised by the NHS for depression when people with significant mental health problems who actively try to commit suicide are turned away and told there are new beds.

Mental health problems indeed.

The fact that the Sun are back tracking like the billyo tells me everything I need to know

👏 the stupidity on this thread is astounding tbh. The Sun have literally said they’ll make no further accusations, they know they’ve fucked it. Yet people are still blindly buying all the shite they’ve come out with. The word of the ‘victim’ and two police services isn’t enough for people to apply any reasonable thought process to this. But the word of The fucking Sun is enough to crucify someone. Beggars belief.
