Disgraced BBC presenter Huw Edwards received a suspended six-month sentence for downloading indecent images of children. The judge described his crimes as 'extremely serious offences' but concluded he did not pose a risk to children.
The police have released a mug-shot of a stern-faced Huw Edwards , the disgraced star who managed to avoid prison today . The dishevelled BBC presenter was pictured in a bleary-eyed photo following his arrest last year. This afternoon, he was informed that his career was in ruins.
Mr Goldspring stated: "Perhaps it does not need saying that you are of previous good character having enjoyed a very successful career in the media You were highly regarded for your dedication and professionalism, perhaps the most recognised journalist in the UK. Your reputation is in tatters." The judge described his crimes as "extremely serious offences" but concluded that Huw did not pose a risk or danger to children.
"This prosecution sends a clear message that the CPS, working alongside the police, will work to bring to justice those who seek to exploit children, wherever that abuse takes place."
