Huw Edwards Charged With Making Indecent Images of Children

by Will Jones
29 July 2024 7:00 PM

Huw Edwards has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children, the Metropolitan Police has said. The Telegraph has more.

The 62-year-old, who left the BBC last year, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, charged with three offences relating to images shared on WhatsApp.

Mr. Edwards, who was one of the BBC’s most highly-paid stars, was arrested last November by detectives from Scotland Yard. He was charged last month.

According to the charge sheet, Mr. Edwards is accused of having six category A images, 12 category B pictures and 19 category C photographs on WhatsApp.

The offences are contrary to sections 1(1)(a) and 6 of the Protection of Children Act 1978. If found guilty, he could receive a maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

A Met spokesman said: “The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat.

“Edwards was arrested on Nov 8th 2023. He was charged on Wednesday June 26th following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service. He has been bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday July 31st.

“Media and the public are strongly reminded that this is an active case. Nothing should be published, including on social media, which could prejudice future court proceedings.”

Worth reading in full.

Yep he´s right on so many things but so completely wrong on drugs.
The cons are right on this issue.

The thing is I don’t think Peter Hitchens has ever taken cannabis. He’s just read the scare stories and they sound ridiculous. He drinks wine and seem to be totally cognitively dissonant on the fact that alcohol is a substance which has a long history of associated violence. Apart from that, he seems like a kind man.

Peter Hitchens almost a national treasure if such things even exist.

Why one would want to impose this on them-selves voluntarily is beyond me. Grim. But Peter Hitchens was a big lockdown sceptic, and right in the middle of our darkest hour- the start of 2021. Well it felt like our darkest hour to me.

I’ve looked it up, I’ve thought about it…. but I still don’t understand the term ‘tractor porn’. I suppose there is no hope for me.

Agreed. The Urban Dictionary definition “Still or moving images of farm machinery, often viewed in an obsessively-voyeuristic manner. Tractor porn is often associated with the chronic inability to achieve any set task or other meaningful productive output in one’s work day.” doesn’t really cut it.

Can somebody kindly explain it, or at least give a hint, in an acceptable manner?

He claimed that he’d ended up on a porn site while looking for pictures of tractors. He’d be useful in a smoky room because he’s probably now an ex tractor fan
