- “These are very serious images and they do carry jail sentences.”
The former BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has pleaded guilty to viewing 41 indecent images of children, including two moving images of children believed to be as young as seven. The Times's media correspondent Alex Farber reports that the case may have to be referred to a higher court due to the severity of the matter.

This is disgusting there is millions and millions of people suffering serious mental health …and they don’t do what Edward’s was doing…vile man hiding behind this 😡
poss 4 years jail bet he gets off with a suspended sentence
Hes only pleaded guilty to those 3 charges so he gets a third knocked off his sentence and all the other pics not included@Pmrace1960
And he got a big increase in pay while he was suspended which he did not turn down and happily accepted
Perhaps he could return that pay and the pay increase back to the British people
It's so cowardly to pull out and use the mental health card when all that is happening is that he's being held responsible for his actions...horrible man.
Of cpurse he has mental health problems, he got caught.
🎯
That brought it on no doubt 😑
Of course he has mental health problems, he's attracted to minors.

Not in a good place ? Here it comes the mental health card
So you think people without mental health issues tend to do ridiculous things?
@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu of course.
@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu Yes, because labeling these people as having a mental health issues is always used as a way to coddle the rich and famous, while people with actual mental health issues are thrown to the wolves.
Are you defending this? @@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu
@@TheRealEtaoinShrdlupeople who have mental health issues don’t all download indecent images of children.
Pulling the old mental health card FFS. He caused his own problems they should give him the max sentence .
Mental health issues, shouldn't be used as an excuse for being a paedo! I know a lot of people who have mental health issues, NONE of them are paedos!!!!!!
By pleading guilty, everything gets swept under the carpet, so none of the dirt is given in evidence. He listened to his highly paid lawyer .
The evidence was given in court- if you actually bothered to read it.
I kind of agree but anything that involves kids and sexual gratification can't really be sugar coated or minimised imo
Totally agree, a Trial could/would have uncovered so much more ( if there is any, which I think there is)
I had to turn it off.
Saying 'Erm" a thousand times when you could be using words is very lacking, especially around a subject like this.
Its when they’ve got nothing to say and are just constantly repeating themselves
@GavDuggan1983 I stopped watching this channel years ago, stumbled upon it today by accident - I don’t know how people can stand it, they upload about 760 videos about the same subject, or even the same video with slightly different titles, repeat clips within the same video and have people on who have about as much knowledge on a subject as a bath sponge. It’s mind numbing.
Wow, far too many 'ermm', 'ahh's, switched off in less than 2 minutes. Poor reporting.
Got to turn these two off bye
Me too 🤦♂️
I’d assume the children in the photos weren’t exactly in a good place either Huw, you beast, one of a long list that’s managed to remain in post at the BBC for decades. You think that organisation threw a protective cloak of denial and deceit over such individuals…or was that just Savile? Probably not.
Don’t forget Gary and Rolfe.
@@gelbsucht947 true
'Not in a good place'. Of course not, he was caught. That place is going to get a lot darker for him.
There’s not much sympathy for the BBC
BBC don't give a fawk
What so after Saville, Rolf Harris and all the others they still have not cleaned house !,
They keep talking about get licence to pay these overrated people inflated salaries and truth they not worth a dime ,
not surprising, how many sex offenders and liars have they had over the years, and lied to cover up their offenders. Saville, hall, harris, edward’s…
What's it got to do with the BBC? How are they in any way to blame?
@@martydav9475license paying fool
DO NOT PAY THE BBC TV TAX
Ohhh please stop giving him the mental health card 🙄🙄🙄
His mental health is going to detiorate further in prison 😅😅😅😅
Investigate his close circle also
Mental health is not an excuse for this vile behaviour. Get a grip people
He has his nose up in the air, such arrogance.
These kind of people are very controlling and manipulative.
If you read his online profile, he's a Christian and a regular church goer apparently, so huw you are associated with two institutions that are known to be a sanctuary for deviants and perverts.
By these kind of people you mean anglos yeh 😂
Boycott the bbc. Do not pay your license fee.
That's fine but everyone needs to cancel the licence.
The BBC needs to be dissolved
Jesus no! I’m not watching adverts or people with American accents!!
Why?
The scandals, propaganda fake news pushing there own agenda.. BBC is slowly dying with television . You will see it collapse next 10 years
@@john8451You must swallow all the brainwashing material on mainstream media. This shows that you never question authority. You should have lived in Germany in 1939. You would have made a great puppet.
If he'd been at ITV would that have had to be disolved aswell?
BBC should close its doors now taxpayers are paying horrible people for disgusting behaviour.
Don't be absurd.
@@martydav9475 BBC knew about this and he still got a pay rise ,time for it to go private.
How many times can one person say uuummmmm!!!😡
I'm fine with a bit of "uhm" here and there, but jeez, this guy was like "uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm" at maximum volume multiple times in every sentence.
Uhhhuhuhh-ss-s-uuhhhjj
It is impossible to listen to. Maybe a vocal ''Tic'', but it needs editing out.
So another kiddie fiddler. 41 images is either all they can prove or he's being protected by his mates. Of course he'll blame his mental health.
If that idiot reporter says er one more time I will scream,how hard is it to get someone who can string together a coherent sentence.
was it angela rayner, er
I couldn't care less if he's "not in a good place" as this presenter drones on about..he can go to jail & rot.
It's systemic in the BBC
why
I would presume that the mental health of the children involved in the creation of the images is not particularly robust, so I don't know why anyone would be required to care about that of Huw Edwards.
Go Straight to Jail, Do Not Pass a School, Do not Collect £475,000.00
🇬🇧 Hows about that then??🇬🇧
Now then, now then!
Clunk click every trip
Urrghhh urrghhh urrghhh urrghhh... jingle jangle!!!!
How about under the jail?
Mate, are you serious? He knows what he did, he is just depressed he got caught
Lots of errs and umms not many facts and incorrect information regarding offences and tariffs.
Ummm ummmm ummmm ummmmmm ummmmm
Perfect timing of admission, after the BBC raised his pay by 10%.
SCRAP THE TV LICENCE ....NOW
And how is it the BBCs fault?
I don’t watch them because of political bias, but how could they be expected to know Edwards was privately viewing kiddieporn?
@@fainitesbarley2245 its the second scandal around him and it was suspected there was a cover up. The BBC covered up for Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris.
LIGHTNING STRIKING TOO MANY TIMES
@fainitesbarley2245 They knew about Saville, and this is no coincidence. You are either gullible or brainwashed. Which is it???
@@zippy_uk1046 💯
I hope he gets a prison sentence not some nonsense community service. He should be sacked from the BBC
He's already resigned from the BBC in April.
@@martydav9475they allowed him to resign rather than sacking
Completely disagree with his choice of entrance music, these are serious charges, having jaunty music is totally inappropriate
The "Jim'll Fix It" tune would have been more appropriate. As it happens, guys and gals, now then.
That music is being played by the someone outside. It's not his choice or the reporters'.
@@ptonpcHe knows😂
Disgusting ive cancelled my tv licence use social media to think they hv been paying him dont throw the mental health card again were sick of it
I don't feel sorry for Huw at all, there are so many people who are not in a good place through no fault of their own. What he did was disgusting, I doubt the mental health issues have anything to do with remorse or a conscience, it'll be because he got caught and is being held responsible and now will play the mental health card for all it's worth, just like PSch.
so was he doing this well before his spilt with his wife ?
This should of been passed the the crown court with immediate affect
No it should not there is a procedure that needs to be followed. It is the magistrates who decide what goes to crown court not uniformed rabble.
poss 4 years jail
@@Pmrace1960Poss suspended sentence.
*have
@@paulhillman400- You wish.
And he was payed more this year than last year go figure
I am an adult that was subjected to violations as a child, by an adult ,how long is long enough ?
There is no one that i idolise since those kind of folk use money, and status to protect them ,whilst they do the most henious,dispicable acts ,
You was caught!
dont use that mental health card, for those that know real life trauma its the lowest insult ,
This is one of those times i am glad the press are violating someones liberty.
what effect did it have on you
Errrmmmm. Can this bloke speak!
Well done to the Sun for exposing this monster. Now those defending Huw need to be investigated.
He was very angry that the Sun “ blackmailed “ him
The bbc falls to recognise how loathed and despised it is by the majority of the British population.
That's because it's not loathed and despised by most people. It's news website/App is subscribed to by 14 million subscribers.
Sky news and other major outlets turn comments off and stop the free speech. This man is disgraceful and should spend the rest of his life in prison.
Agree. Free speech is the cornerstone of democracy in all situations - let the people speak
@@MJ-qb5phThat's right, let the moronic lynch mob speak.
Er, er, er, er, ER, SHUT UP!!
Ridiculous to have the “jaunty music” as a soundtrack. Like a damn Benny Hill script. These offences are serious not any sort of comedy!
Let's find out exactly what the BBC knew and didn't know and for how long Huw Edwards remained under their payroll. #shocking
Mental health problems do not incline a person to depravity. It is a personal choice he made. It is a sickness in his spirit, a choice to commit a sin that disgusts everyone . He is sorry because he got caught, and has consequently destroyed his life, all by himself.
He wont do a single day in prison, watch.
watch
His mental health?? He obviously has something VERY wrong with his brain, but the child victims' mental health is probably in the bin and of more concern to me. I don't care how he feels. It's just so horrible! Those poor children. People who do that will never stop wanting to do that - and worse. Horrible. Indescribably horrible. Where are the children's parents? How did they let it happen? I hope they're found and properly looked into. Those poor children.
😔
Obviously no one can do a 'one size fits all' answer, A lot of the victims are either trafficked or abused without their parents knowing.
exactly !!! a humane comment in a sea of comments about paying tv license, as if all these people care about is money.
I got a TV Licensing ad before this vid, I am not joking. Anyone else?
I listened to the Radio 4 coverage of the story and they tried to put forward the narrative that apart from watching 7 year old children performing sexual acts he was actually a man of good character.
The media classes are disgusting people.
Typical of the BBC this, also can we stop paying him now.
Whole company needs shutting down.. history
Strange why the BBC gave him a big pay rise last year. Does anyone know why?
And his salary was increased by 40k while he was suspended. At least we know where the TV license money goes.
ummmm ummmm ummmm
Why is no one asking WHO he was sharing these images with?
And the scumbag who sent the images received a 12 month suspended sentence.
The sickening greed of the bbc and it's employees is truly nauseating.
‘UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH’… I stopped watching this channel years ago, stumbled upon it today by accident - I don’t know how people can stand it, they upload 760 videos about the same subject, or even the same video with slightly different titles, repeat clips within the same video and have people on who have about as much knowledge on a subject as a bath sponge, stumbling through the topic via ‘uuuhhhhhhhh’…It’s mind numbing.
So, how did he get found out? Would be interesting to know!!
Another BBC executive probably watched some.
"he's in a tough place just now!!" .. WTAF he's not in a TOUGH ENOUGH place yet, but because he's one of the 'boys' he'll escape a custodial!
"Errrrmm"
And he gets paid £450,000 for doing this. "Top talent".
If the charges were for a greater period of offending, they'd have given him a knighthood already.
Glad to see people not buying into this 'mental health' card.
Do you have mental health issues?
He probably pleads guilty so the pictures are not seen by the court room?
no, to reduce sentence you fool
So will Emily Maitlis apologise?
Why are some news outlets claiming max sentence is 8 years but others saying 6 months?
Well he was employed by the BBC after all …
This guys says urm more then james urm cleverly
Soundtrack is way too chipper for the situation.
Were these images on Hew's own personal equipment or on his employers, the BBC? Haven't heard this clarification.
Wow what a seriously danger to kids
deserves jail for sure
He's probably been doing it for about 50 years.
Since he was 12 ??
I agree yu don't just start doing this
@@DianeBonner-g3d You clearly have experience... but I guess you dont want to say..

Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards has pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children.
His mental health only became an issue when he realised he was caught. It’s a coward’s defence and an insult to everyone with genuine MH issues.
He anchored bbc news for 20 years. That's a long time for millions to be a fan of Huw Edward for so long. British culture always unravels. More will be outed, it's not over.
That's exactly what we need....Morris Dancing Music as a prolific sex offender leaves court charged with serious sexual crimes....Lightens the mood me thinks?
I wonder how he felt when reading the news about Saville and Harris?
He's going down!
Nah, he'll just get a suspended sentence because of his "friends in high places" and jog on to Vietnam.
Did they ever catch up with Russell Brand?
To be fair to Mr.Errm he is the Times media editor, a print journalist not a presenter.
That Irish accordion playing is hilarious.
Somehow, sadly, I can’t really scrape together a lot of sympathy for him being ‘in a tough place’. I wonder who put him there?
I'm sure that there's a perfectly good explanation as to why the images were on his phone.
Imagine no coppers, no protection, no ride out of there?
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm uuuuuuuuuum… uuuuuuuuuum…. It was Putin
What is wrong with the BBC and them attracting these types of people. Seriously the bbc licence fee should be decriminalised and legislation put through to remove the Royal charter, have the privy council and King Charles sign it. That's the only way forward now. Personally I don't pay for it and haven't watched the bbc for over a decade.
Charles ? Jimmy saviles best mate?
The BBC creates these types of people.
It's the establishment. Protecting each other, Look at any large organisation and you will find plenty like him along with psychopaths etc. The BBC and others just happen to have been around long enough for these networks to flourish.
Newflash the BBC are these kind of people. Nest of vipers.
@@fredo1070 how?
Should have been sent straight to crown Court with regard to sentencing. Magistrates can only sentence to a maximum of 12 months for multiple offences. He'll walk with a suspended sentence after playing the mental health card.
If huw Edwards not jailed how can you jail anybody else ?
Who s in his what app group 🤔
I was somewhat understanding of the previous scandal, but this confirms what I suspected originally- there was more to come.
Look at him prancing around like he is a film star filth moore like
He's on the red carpet mate, some big film premier... Sickening
Police protection for a monster unbelievable
That's how civilised countries do law and order.
By all means, feel free to go live in Yemen.
Maybe he wouldn’t be in a ‘tough place’ if he wasn’t so depraved. I had a modicum I’d sympathy for a bloke who obvious lived a lie for decades, then decided to explore his sexuality (I assume his wife supported him in this) BUT this is inexcusable. Maybe these were unsolicited, but you immediately delete, block and report the source - simple.
Why was the Sky News's Katie Spencer trying to downplay what he's admitted in her report? Questions should be asked.
thingi : You know why, why pretend ☹️☹️
Stop paying your tv licence 😂
Jesus Christ, to think I was contributing to his wages every year and that includes you all.. This is one of the reasons and Lineker why I stopped pay the BBC tax last year.
I have six granddaughters, and I abhor his behaviour. But the man is sick, he needs mental support.
What's Huge Edwards' favourite TV show?
