BBC’s well-known newsreader, Huw Edwards, has been sentenced for accessing indecent images of children, some as young as seven years old. The Guardian’s chief reporter witnessed Edwards receiving a suspended sentence for receiving 40 indecent images from a convicted paedophile. Writer Mark Lawson discusses why the BBC’s director general chose not to fire Edwards despite allegations of paying a 17-year-old for explicit photos. Complaints from colleagues about his behavior and the police’s investigation into child abuse images were also factors. Lessons need to be learned from this case, and Edwards’ reputation is in ruins. The BBC’s handling of the situation is under scrutiny, and support for The Guardian to keep journalism open and accessible is needed.
