Jac Davies, 25, received a suspended sentence for possessing indecent images of children and Class A drugs after being linked to convicted pedophile Alex Williams. Davies' defense lawyer argued for a sentence similar to that of former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards, who received a suspended sentence for accessing indecent images of children.
A man who was provided with child abuse images by the convicted paedophile who shared similar material with former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards has been spared jail after his defence team argued magistrates should consider “parity” with the broadcaster’s suspended sentence.
Edwards was previously spared jail at Westminster Magistrates’ Court after admitting accessing indecent images of children as young as seven. The 63-year-old admitted three charges of “making” indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by Williams over WhatsApp. Davies’ defence lawyer Stewart Page told the court: “I think it’s incumbent upon me to mention that you also need to consider parity on sentence. You are aware of a certain individual who was sentenced a number of months ago – he too had no previous convictions.
Edwards also announced the late Queen’s death on the BBC in September 2022. The court heard West Yorkshire Police attended Davies’ home after being alerted to the investigation into Williams and Edwards. Ms Kruger said a Telegram chat was also uncovered by officers which showed Davies speaking to others about how he wanted to “destroy newborns” and going into “graphic detail” about what he would do to them.
The defence lawyer said a pre-sentence report described “a very difficult background with the defendant dealing with his sexuality”.
