The Huw Edwards situation

Some amount of garbage in this thread. Police have concluded no crime took place, man has had a 20 year battle with depression and presumably attempted to end it over this and now hospitalised. There is also still no evidence he actually solicited photos from anyone.

That should be the end of it until he releases any form of statement.

If something severe does happen to him, regardless of the morals of a married man looking for pervy content, I hope The Sun burns for it, it’s about time these rags were held accountable.

I find it insidious when people class it as a "card" when the condition doesn't suit their narrative; if it's a mental health card when the man has a history of mental health issues, then when is it not a mental health card?

No it's when it's used as a lame, broad excuse. His colleagues were getting flack for days and he's only come out today and still hasn't addressed the claims citing mental health as the excuse... but he seemingly started the track covering exercise days ago when his Instagram account mysteriously vanished.

He was also alleged to have been in contact with the first accuser.

So he's fine to contact them (allegedly) and seemingly to deal with lawyers but MH is the reason he couldn't instruct them to address the other allegations.

Wasn't there a court ruling last year that gave anonymity to people under investigation by a law enforcement agency which is probably why the sun didn't actually name him? In theory if they believed he had committed a criminal offense they would be breaking said ruling.

Not sure to be honest.
I assume it was a specific case since people are still campaigning for this as a right.

I think the "news"papers are being more cautious as they are generally losing more cases. Their revenue is down due to much lower readership.

I couldn't agree more.

I feel like something has been lost in translation... the police have found nothing criminal so why are people still talking about it as if it was?

People haven’t been allowed to openly hate gays and other minorities in years, so they were throthing at the bit to sharpen their pitchforks this time at the merest hint of impropriety.

I think the mental health aspect comes from that if it was someone else doing these things he'd be the first to be digusted and be taking the moral high ground.

But it's him, so he can't defend his actions.

Cognitive dissonance. The more a person sees themselves has having high moral standards the higher the fall if their actions by them are considered immoral.

By all reliable accounts it isn’t clear he’s done anything illegal or even immoral as of yet?

And here's the only evidence at all from The Sun and the instagram user in correct chronological order.

I question if you understand exactly what the timescale means with the evidence in front of you.

So you fully understand through basic reading that months later when the account declared they were in their final year of school, he was slightly more than non communicative and not interested.

You should be able to understand that the labels at the top which say 17 years old were added by The Sun and not actually visible to the presenter.

If you didn't pick up this false awareness of age from The Sun then you came to it from your own conclusion out of nowhere which is weird.

And you have a fit of incomprehension in reply which is standard for you. But look what you're continuing to do.

So by the evidence available, he had no awareness of the individuals age, only that they followed him and he greeted them with a loveheart.

He DM'd a teenager on the photo-sharing site Instagram... you can't claim he had no awareness of his age...

See this is this fact that you keep pretending doesn't exist, that screenshot is everything this claim is based on and you have conjured up the idea that he has awareness months before the evidence existed as we know of it.

By the evidence available he messaged a user that recently followed him and months later when that user declared themselves 17 he didn't say a whole lot did he.
 
Borderline grooming, this is how it all starts.

The next thing you know one is sending unsolicited picks and the other is going to prison.

loads of Hollywood celebs and other elites in the public eye seem to get away with similar all the time.

Where’s the evidence of this? The Sun are now rowing back on the claim that the younger male was even underage to begin with.

Older men talking to younger men happens every day in the gay dating world. It really isn’t that shocking, but please continue clutching those pearls.

What have I got wrong there factually?

Are you still trying to argue against some claim I've not made?

Awareness of what? That he was young or that he was exactly 17? You claimed he had "no awareness of the individuals age" but you don't know that.

That isn't a claim you can make as you've not seen this person's Instagram - again do you suppose he thought this was a middle-aged man?

Apply some common sense here at least, and again you have no idea what other contextual clues there were. Somehow you've turned me pointing out that you can't make a certain claim (as you don't know) into a positive claim by me that he did know this person was 17 which isn't what I've said!

The literal only proof of this is a doctored image by The Sun and we have no information about whether the guy ended contact if presumably they found out about it themselves.

This thread is veering so close to litigation that I think i'm about to stop.
