Disgraced news presenter Huw Edwards dodged prison at his sentencing earlier this month, however his life will now be dramatically different.The ex-News at Ten presenter, 63, was told his career was in tatters when he was handed a six-month sentence, suspended for two, by Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.The 63-year-old pleaded guilty to having made seven Category A indecent images of children - the worst type - as well as 12 Category B, and 22 Category C images.
Westminster Magistrates Court heard details of Edwards' sickening interactions with convicted paedophile Alex Williams who, between the years 2018 and 2021, sent the father-of-five indecent images of children - including two videos of a boy believed to be aged between seven and nine years old, reports the Mirror.Now Edwards begins his reduced life under a shadow of infamy.
Here, Chartered Security Professional James Bore advises the Mirror what this might look like.At sentencing, Edwards' mental health difficulties, which include a major depressive disorder, were regarded as a mitigating factor in the case.
The court heard how Edwards would be 'particularly vulnerable in the prison population', where he would be at 'considerable risk of harm by others' and his 'suicide risk would be high'.
