Famous former BBC presenter given suspended sentence for possessing and making child pornography (children aged 7-9) – Daily Stormer

It makes sense that he won’t get a prison sentence.

It’s not like he did anything serious like saying “Paki” on Facebook.

ABC News:

Huw Edwards, the former face of the BBC’s flagship news programme, was given a suspended sentence by a London court on Monday after admitting making indecent images of children.

The conviction marked the end of Edwards, a household name in Britain for more than two decades, when he was the BBC’s main newsreader to announce Queen Elizabeth’s death in 2022.

Edwards, 63, pleaded guilty in July to three charges of making indecent images of children, relating to 41 illegal images he received via WhatsApp — including two pornographic videos of a child between the ages of seven and nine.

Here’s another BBC presenter convicted of similar crimes

Judge Paul Goldspring sentenced Edwards to six months in prison, suspended for two years. This means that Edwards will not have to go to prison unless he commits a new offense during that time.

Seven of the illegal images were in the most serious category, prosecutor Ian Hope said, and both videos were marked as “read” on WhatsApp. In response to the second video, Edwards asked the man who sent them: “Any more?”

The offence of making indecent images of children relates to the images sent to Edwards. The prosecution did not allege that Edwards literally made the images in question.

According to his lawyer Philip Evans, Edwards was suffering from mental and physical health problems at the time of the incident and could not remember viewing specific images.

“He did not use them for any personal gratification and he did not derive any satisfaction from those indecent images,” said Evans.

Edwards was “deeply saddened,” he added.

Claire Brinton, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement: “Gaining access to indecent images of children perpetuates their sexual exploitation, causing deep and long-lasting trauma for these victims.”

The judge said Edwards’ reputation was now “in tatters” but that the personal impact on Edwards was “the natural consequence of your conduct which you brought upon yourself”.

A BBC spokesperson said: “We are shocked by his crimes. He has betrayed not only the BBC but also the public who placed their trust in him.”

Everyone knows that there is no room in British prisons these days because they have to lock up all those people who said nasty things on the internet.

We can’t just lock people up for committing CP when there are so many more heinous criminals who need to be punished.

I mean, it’s not like he was sending pictures of 17-year-old girls. These were 7-9 year-old boys.

A slap on the wrist is all he deserves, at least if there are people on Facebook who say “Paki” and fill the prisons.
