TV's Huw Edwards could face prison time after being charged with making indecent images of children

"The charges relate to the most extreme category… the images are very graphic in nature”.

Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards could face a potential prison sentence along with a significant fine if found guilty of making indecent pictures of children, says The Times’ media correspondent Alex Farber.

Children were harmed during the making of such images, a prison sentence is a must

[S.Trades]

What a FOOL! In a high profile, high paid job, he threw it all away. Forever disgraced. I pity his wife.

[MrGezino]

People will be asking why Huw was not only kept on full pay while suspended but received a 40k pay rise during that period! BBC employees sign a contract that includes a clause to not doing anything that brings the corporation into disrepute. They / we should be asking for the money back...

[presidentxijinpingspoxdoct]

BBC is a breeding ground for these people.

[tadcastertory]

Wait for the 'mental health' claim.

[myzamau]

Potential? He was caught with category A, B, and C material. This sick man needs to be jailed for life.

[geoffcarter]

Get rid of the tv licence for crying out loud.

[Travis_]

I stopped paying my BBC licence 5 years ago. Precisely for reasons like this. Wake up people!

[ozrdwii]

Lock him up and get our money back. Why on earth did the BBC keep paying him? 😢

[jeffreyroberts]

And he’s still being paid nearly £400, 000, couldn’t make it up! Get rid of the licence fee and see if the BBC survives?

[MrJimtimslim]

Nothing less than a substantial prison sentence is a disgrace. Evil personified

[cliffordmillington]

They always seem to play the mental health card to try and get out of going to prison send him down. I say if he’s proven guilty disgusting

[ruinedsite]

Exactly the credentials needed to work at the BBC

[isaachunt]

why isn't this creep inside now.?

[Vivienne]

He will use the 'mental health' situation...absolute creep

[RTurboCharged]

The whole celebrity community is either a pervert or complicit in so much vile behaviour. They all disgust me with their silence and covering for what they all blatantly know about.

[michaeltaylor]

He needs to be fired from the BBC because hes still on the payroll

[irenetaylopr]

Found literally with his pants down he pleads Mental Health, what a coward.

[johndunlop]

Potential prison time he should be locked up for life and I mean life.

[Tanvaras]

What you mean could, he should be in jail period!
