Former BBC news presenter Huw Edwards has been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment suspended for two years by a London court for having indecent images of children, according to PA Media. The suspended sentence comes with requirements including the completion of a sex offender treatment program and 25 rehabilitation sessions. Edwards, who was the BBC’s highest-paid journalist, pleaded guilty in July to having 41 indecent images of children. Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said while sentencing Edwards that it was “obvious” that the journalist was “very highly regarded by the public” until information about his crimes became public. “It is not an exaggeration to say your long-earned reputation is in tatters,” the magistrate said. The court had previously heard that Edwards had engaged in online chat with an adult man on WhatsApp, who sent him 377 sexual images, 41 of which were indecent images of children.
