Huw Edwards’ “long-earned reputation is in tatters”, a judge has said as he sentenced the former BBC presenter for accessing indecent images of children.

The disgraced ex-newsreader was spared jail after admitting three charges of “making” indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams over WhatsApp.

The 63-year-old was handed a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

The Spectator's Rod Liddle says the difference in sentencing of rioters and Huw Edwards is "not justice, it's a horrible perversion of justice".

"Whether it's Huw or any of the other BBC's long list of pedos, their cases should be heard in isolation away from politics!"
