Huw Edwards Named as BBC star at centre of scandal

Wow , didn't see that coming.

Huw Edwards has been a BBC newsreader forever .. almost , he has also hosted shows outside of the news but to hear it is he who is implicated in this is quite a surprise , the elder statesman of BBC news no less.

The 61-year-old, who was born in Bridgend, south Wales, in 1961, is married to TV producer Vicky Flind. They have five children.

Away from work, Edwards is a vice president of the National Churches Trust, and has written about the scourge of "vandalism in disused chapels and churches across the United Kingdom".

He is also a patron of the Welsh Buildings Trust, a charity set up to conserve and develop redundant chapels across Wales in need of repair work.

Basically Child porn

Paying teenagers for pictures.

Guessing he has done a lot worse.

Fry him.

Paying kids for nude pictures.

Outed by his wife as the unnamed BBC employee.

Was known on the interwebs last week but couldn't be mentioned.

That’s horrendous but hardly surprising from the BBC.

I wonder if he was friends with Saville?

Philip Schofield, ITVs 'man' for all schedules gets pulled for getting his (underage) boyfriend a job on the station.

A few weeks pass....

Huw Edwardes,BBC's 'man' for all schedules gets pulled for doing nothing illegal (according to two Police Force investigations) with an (alledgedly) underage boy and £35k.

Coincidence or Tit for Tat?

Prediction of future BBC story...

He was found hung last night...

I think you're correct about this being the tip of the iceberg. It certainly poses the question as to if there are other "episodes" to be revealed.

Cheers

Police have investigated the allegations and concluded they have no evidence of criminality.

The Met Police said detectives from its specialist crime command have "concluded their assessment and have determined there is no information to indicate that a criminal offence has been committed".

Officers had "spoken to a number of parties including the BBC and the alleged complainant and the alleged complainant's family, both via another police force," it added.

The force said: "There is no further police action. As such, the Met has advised the BBC it can continue with its internal investigation.

"We are aware of media reporting of further allegations against the same individual. No specific details or information about these allegations have been passed to us and therefore there is no police action at this time.

"Should evidence of criminality or safeguarding issues be identified at any point we would expect matters to be referred to the relevant police force

The way the 'news' described this it might just be some man on a young mans OnlyFans account (18+), his wife found out and this is just her revenge.

That would explain the police investigation not finding any evidence of illegal activities.
And he can still pay vast amounts of money to a 19 year old for sexual content. That's what the platform is used for

Absolutely no suggestion of child porn at this point. The police have already said there was no offence committed but there is more to come out. The Sun newspaper originally stated that the sexual pictures started when the teen was 17 but changed their later headings to contact started when he was 17 - a big difference.

Morally questionable. Exceedingly stupid. Exploited his position and wealth. Cheated on his wife in reality. Let his children down. Doesn’t look like he broke the law. Although the law these days seems different for different people. People make bad decisions, but if they’re not breaking the law, then it’s just bad decisions and should be down to him and his family and the others involved to deal with.

Also, I have a feeling Huw and Jimmy were best buds

How much do you want to bet that he will blame his actions on his mental illness?

Do not let the law dictate your morals.

The state does not need to tell you what is right or wrong.

He is 67.

If he is soliciting images from an 18 year old, this is "legal" but wrong.

An 18 year old is a child.
