Now that's over and done with The Sun can move onto to the Tory MP who's been bailed five times for alleged sexual offences and has been told to stay away from Parliament for the last 15 months?

Or maybe not.

Depressed man and made some mistakes. But as the police have said he hasn't commited an offence. Severe lack of judgement from him.

Huw Edwards is 61. Paid thousands to a 17yo for sexual content. He's helped fuck up that young man's life. And his wife's. Plenty of people with severe depression who don't do that - me included. I'm judging very harshly.

The BBC themselves have confirmed the threatening/intimidating messages aspect.It may turn out that the messages are not technically illegal but you can't surely be claiming it's normal/acceptable.The same applies to the other aspects of the story that,let's not forget involve people young enough to be his kids.

Oh dear,not allowed to express opinions,thats every post on here to be deleted then.I have not stated anything that is not a confirmed fact.Myself and a couple of school friends were nearly victims of now jailed semi celeb paedophile Barry Bennell.He was protected by every organisation he was in,by the keep opinions to yourself-its hearsay brigade who he wore like a bullet proof vest.The "oooh you can't say that" and "it's a witch hunt" apologists were his spearhead and rearguard.I won't be taking any patronising condescending ignorant bollocks lectures from anyone when it comes to people abusing their position for predatory purposes with their supporters being nothing more than acomplisses.

If he'd paid thousands to a 17yr old for sexual content then why are there no charges brought?

This story has been iffy from the start, and I've been cynical about a lot of it but I think I will wait for the actual facts before passing judgement. At this point, no criminal charges, really really stupid, illadvised behaviour on his part for sure but no charges so far. Is there more to come? Most likely and there will probably be a few with cause to hang their heads over it all but again, I'll wait.

It's really sad, the police aren't prosecuting. Years ago THE BBC knew what Jimmy Saville was up to and did nothing about it. The Sun is an absolute rag. This man is probably close to taking his own life because of them. Give him a break,I sat there 2 years ago when he announced that Queen Elizabeth 2 had died and I was in tears

Follow up thought. We have no idea how much of this story is true.

What if:

He paid a fiver for a pic of a 19yo

He was bl@ckmailed for £35k.

Parents see the £35k

Son says it was for indecent pics.

(I'm not saying this is the case by any stretch. But many are taking the original article as fact when it appears it has been missrepresented to some extent).

So? Well it makes a massive difference,how was he supposed to know their age if they were selling content on a website where the 'performers' must be over the age of 18.

This is why the police won't be investigating him either.

The boy is now 20. It started when he was 17 and I don't believe there's anything stated about the age he was with an OF account? and I didn't realise you had the inside track on police decisions. I don't believe the police have said why they're not charging him that I have seen.

To consider charging someone with an offence the police have to apply the full code test. In essence this means they have to believe there is evidence that someone has committed a crime, and that evidence must be sufficient for there to be a realistic prospect of a court convicting on that evidence. IF there is sufficient evidence they must be sure it is in the public interest to prosecute.

In this case it is clear the police do not have sufficient evidence to satisfy the first part of this test.

Cases of this nature would also be reviewed by the CPS prior to a final charging decision, if there wasxany evidence to review.

Both South Wales Police and Metropolitan Police have said there's no evidence of any offence. That's why there's no prosecution. Prosecute for what exactly? Very clear!

Reading other news reports, they say The Sun has stated they never alleged any criminal offence took place and are now saying that contact was first made when the young person was 17, not that explicit pictures were obtained at this time.

Hints, innuendo and smoke screens.

This is a story about moral outrage rather than criminality or paedophilia.

From what i can see no offence has taken place according to police ( at this time anyway)

Both parties say no crime was committed and the young person has confirmed that they did not go to the press

The family of the younger person went to the press - i wonder why… the Sun says they haven’t paid them. But not that they have not paid a 3rd party who in turn has paid the family. Say a PR company for example? All conjecture on my part there but who does something for nothing in a case like this?

The press activity around Caroline Flack was a significant contributory factor that caused her to commit suicide. I think that was the findings and yet still the British press do not have any restrictions around what they can publish it seems. They can splash a huge front page headline saying someone is a paedophile and subsequently retract it on Page 82 next to an advert for pile cream. Sadly that persons career is over and they move on to wreck the next persons life unhindered.

Actually huw Edwards has talked about his own mental issues and experiences with depression for years… I can point you in the direction of various interviews and podcasts if you like….

You might want to look at the sun, who are claiming they never made the suggestion of any illegality and blaming other paper and social media of basically putting two and two together and making five!

"Not committed a crime, how many on here are squeaky clean?

So that excuses his actions.There we are,all sins forgiven,move on,nothing to see here,forget the four people who have come forward with complaints,they're not celebs,they don't matter.

What are their complaints? Are you privy to them?

Whilst I view his actions concerning the photos, adusive messages, and attraction to a 17 year old abhorrent, him breaking lockdown rules dosnt bother me what so ever. Trying to nail him for a breach of the draconian lockdown rules is beyond pathetic in my view. NO ONE should have ever been fined for this.

Some wont be happy till hes topped himself. Dreadful gutter press. Still exactly the same tactics as when they pushed caroline flack over the edge. Breaking lockdown.. Ffs seriously get a grip.

And it wasnt threatening/abusive to taunt someone they were going to out them publicly?

Exactly this. If I sent photos to someone on here and they threatened to forward them to my boss, I reckon my response might be a bit sweary too!"

"I'm not sure the gender of the young person has been specified. Now the police have confirmed no crime has been committed, feels like a bit of a witch-hunt.

The young man in question, now 20 years of age, has denied that anything took place. The police have concluded their assessment and said there was no crime. Huw Edwards (61) is in hospital being treated for severe depression and chronic mental issues with his wife and 5 children in support.

On the bright side, The Sun sold a lot of news papers and I suspect the young man's parents received a nice wodge of cash for selling out their son's privacy.

Agree, but we don't have all the facts. There are 2 elements to this; the legal and the moral aspects:

Did he get photos of the person when they were 17 and act illegally in doing so, or just have contact with them then and get photos later on when the person was older and of legal age? The mother has claimed that the person was 17 at the time, the person has denied this and the Police have said that there is no evidence of criminality. We therefore have to accept that he didn't obtain the photos when the person was 17.

If he didn't obtain any photos when the person was 17, but did when the person was of legal age, is there a moral consideration? Maybe, depending on your view. However, how many fellow fabbers would accept photos, for payment or not, from someone who was 18 / 19 / 20? How many fabbers have done a search on here for those in that age range for a bit of wank material, or have their age minimum age filter set at 18?
