Fury at the BBC as Huw Edwards avoids jail
by Martin Robinson and Rory Tingle, Daily Mail:
Ex-colleagues condemn shamed newsreader for trying to play the victim and slam corporation for its handling of yet another abuse scandal.
Huw Edwards‘ BBC ex-colleagues are disgusted by his crimes and believe he should have been sent to prison and forced to give back the £200,000 he was paid by their bosses after his arrest.
The ex-newsreader was spared jail after admitting three charges of ‘making’ indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams over WhatsApp.
The 63-year-old sent hundreds of pounds to Williams, who sent him porn, some of which he called ‘amazing’. The disgraced broadcaster had also told the convicted paedophile ‘go on’ when asked if he wanted ‘naughty pics and vids’ of somebody described as young.
Edwards also wrote ‘yes xxx’ when he was asked by Williams if he wanted sexual images of a person whose ‘age could be discerned as being between 14 and 16’. He was also sent two pornographic videos of a child aged between seven and nine-years-old.
A BBC spokesperson said after its former broadcaster Huw Edwards was sentenced: ‘We are appalled by his crimes. He has betrayed not just the BBC, but audiences who put their trust in him.’
