Huw Edwards

[Aquarius1234]

To think he shouldn't have been paid in full while off long term. As its more like being self employed.
But mainly cos it was 475k upwards of our TV licence money!
Another example is when a famous radio presenter s decide to go off for an extended break to film another show or something. Surely they don't get normal pay when they have extra weeks off not on air!!

Stuck with her partner who was caught with a Category A video of very young children (earliest age was 12 months). Her standing by her man was given as a reason why he should avoid prison. Apparently all this meant that her then teenage daughter either couldn't or wouldn't stay living with her mother. Her partner, the former MP Eric Joyce, seems to have multiple issues, to say the least.

That article by Burchill! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea about Eric Joyce's crimes, I only knew he got drunk and agro in the HOC. Shocked about his searches- horrific,

Horrible Nonce.
Should be made to pay some back.

Oh yes, I remember now. Thanks.

It's not about likelihood of committing offences, sexual or otherwise, but whether the sentence should be eased/reduced because of health conditions: mental or otherwise.

Various members of my family and that of my DP have had mental health diagnoses ranging from relatively minor anxiety through depression to full on Bi-Polar. I also spent a significant chunk of my career working with people with conditions ranging from Bi-Polar and Schizophrenia through head injury to Dementia

The idea that those are a 'card' you can play when life gives you trouble is grossly offensive.

You make out it's just silly celeb gossip

Do I? I think that’s you making stuff up again. There will be another scandal along in a minute. There always is.

Seriously? You hope HE's wife is ashamed?
She's been publicly humiliated, betrayed, shocked, heartbroken.... and has had to try to protect her children from glare of publicity, all because of something someone else did and she knew nothing about.

And you want HER to be ashamed? Christ on a fucking bike.

Its a very serious offence that involves being complicit with children being sexually abused

this will be remembered due to the very serious nature of what has happened to the victims his name will come up time and time again for many years to come

Nicky Campbell s thoughts:-

Let’s think about the children in these images. Callously exploited and psychologically destroyed. They are not images. They are humans who will live with this forever and all for the twisted pleasure of the disgusting men who trade and swap this misery. And don’t call it child ‘pornography’. journalists. It is ‘abusive images’.

Yes absolutely I'm sure most people don't think the images are of living human beings.
😔

Agree! Wasn’t it his poor wife who had to release his name when everyone already knew but all the media outlets were too gutless to say it?

Some offenders who also have a mh diagnosis will try and use their mh diagnosis I don’t think it’s offensive to say this. Some try and manipulate those around them, possibly to evade charges or alter the outcome (a secure unit is far more preferable to majority of sex offenders than prison)

I have seen it a number of times it didn’t work (that isn’t to say it has not worked for some)

sex offenders are particularly tricky to work with the levels of manipulation is incredibly challenging to work with

I agree his wife and family have been living a life of lies

he is the guilty one I feel very sorry for them all

I've been eviscerated for saying this on another thread, but I am going to stick my neck out anyway and say that his wife and his children are also his victims.

They are.

She's apparently lovely. But doesn't take any shit. Not the type to turn a blind eye if she knew by all accounts.

Completely agree. He's ruined their lives as well.

@Runnerinthenight agree, they absolutely are. The shame of defending him when he was still keeping secrets.

From his wife’s POV wondering if there were signs she missed, did she protect the children etc.

Every family occasion will now be marked by his absence and the reasons for it.

And if/when his children start to become parents themselves the questions will start again and they’ll see him in an even worse light. How could you ever let a man who spent months chatting to a convicted paedophile and didn’t report those images of children, anywhere near your own children.

He’s had - on the face of it - an enviable life and destroyed it all because he was getting his kicks texting young men and looking at porn, and didn’t have the guts to do the right thing when the porn became CSA material, because protecting his dirty secret was more important than doing the right thing by innocent children.

Category A and including age 7 to 9

Listening now to report, sounds horrendous

Maybe not bezzie mates but they would definitely have known each other. Maybe not in person but certainly a long enough online relationship to know that they could trust each other not to go to the police.

Online paedophiles typically spend a fair while on dark net forums testing each other out and getting to know each other, figuring out who they can trust and what the other person is 'into', often using codewords to establish 'tastes', before graduating to sending images on telegram and whatsapp.

They simply do not risk their freedom by sending images on spec to someone they don't know who might go to the police.

Make no mistake, HE wouldn't have been an innocent and unwitting recipient of images. He would've been deep into this before those images ever winged their way to his phone.

Yes I think she should feel ashamed for releasing that highly dramatic poor pervert Huw has been admitted to a clinic he has mh problems can we stop talking about him now statement. She should have let him do his own statements.

He probably just refused to hand his phone over. He wouldn't have been under any obligation to give it and he would've had a shit hot expensive lawyer to argue his case.

There's a difference between 'minding' and employment laws, no?

@Over40Overdating Eye for an eye. To be honest it’s too good for him, bet he doesn’t even do any jail time. He will get a house in Thailand or retire with his wife if she will have him 🤢

I couldn’t begin to tell you what I’d like to see inflicted on child and animal abusers because I’d be banned from mn. Suffice enough to say they’re a waste of good organs.

Huw Edwards' phone was apparently stolen the night before the Queen's death - which presumably would have been the phone with this chat on. It fits with the time given for his WhatsApps with Williams.

It's on a few news sites, most with paywalls- but this is a free headline.

Was it stolen or 'lost' a la Rebekah Vardy? If he had a burner phone, it seems unlikely that S Wales police would have known Williams was communicating with Edwards.

It seems the police discovered the chats from Williams' side only. After a phone is lost would HE's account still show old chats? Some news reports have said that he didn't share or download the images- but would his unencrypted WhatsApp records show that level of detail, does anyone know?
