Much to his undoubted frustration, perverted BBC newsreader Huw Edwards won't be playing hide the sausage with some teenaged lag in the communal showers of HMP Wandsworth this evening.
That's because the deviant broadcaster, who clearly has a bit of a thing about young boys, has been handed a suspended sentence for downloading indecent images of children.
On 31st July 2024 Edwards admitted three offences of downloading indecent images of children. The images were shared in a WhatsApp conversation with fellow Welsh nonce Alex Williams, who Edwards periodically sent cash payments to in acknowledgement.
Despite these payments Senior District Judge Paul Goldspring has somehow concluded that Edwards did not pay for the images directly.
Today, 16th September 2024, Edwards was sentenced to 6 months in prison suspended for 2 years.
He also has to complete a 40-day Sex Offender Treatment Programme and up to 25 days' rehabilitation work with the probation service.
Given the sentence imposed, Edwards is now subject to notification requirements of the sex offenders register.
Judge Goldsping decided against making the seedy Welshman subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, saying that he didn't believe Edwards posed a risk of sexual harm in the future.
There has been a lot of public criticism of the apparent leniency of Edwards' sentence. However, legal opinion seems to be that the sentence was proportionate and in agreement with the relevant guidelines. It should also be noted that Williams, who had a more significant role in the crime, had previously been sentenced to a suspended sentence, so it didn't seem likely Edwards would go straight to prison.
The Sun has published a very interesting 40 minute documentary about how it first broke the story of Edwards' sexual deviancy. It is worth noting that the BBC, not for the first time, repeatedly ignored complaints in relation to its most prominent news presenter.
