Disgraced former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards has been given a six-month suspended jail sentence for indecent child images.

Huw Edwards, 63, was handed a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years after pleading guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children. Paul Goldspring, the Chief Magistrate told the disgraced former BBC newsreader that It’s obvious that until now you were very highly regarded by the public... It is not an exaggeration to say your long-earned reputation is in tatters.”

Although Huw Edwards has been instructed to pay £3,000 in prosecution costs, a sexual harm prevention order was not made against him by the judge. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring said: “I am of the clear view that you do not present a risk or danger to the public at large, specifically to children. There is a realistic prospect of rehabilitation.”
