You may be right, it's a long time since I've torrented so it's a world I'm not up to date with.
BBC presenter Huw Edwards suspended over paying for sexual pics.
- Thread starter Calamity1971
- Start date
When I worked for the police, cases like this always, often had a defendant claiming they didn’t know how computers really worked. But yet somehow thousands of child porn images manage to burn themselves onto DVD. Get moved from one folder to another. They were never mortified or outraged that this stuff had been found. As you might imagine someone innocent of this would react. Just very calmly pretending they didn’t know what they were doing. Made my blood boil. Fortunately I didn’t have to hear the descriptions of the images.

Find it hard to believe anyone would torrent porn when there is at least one legal and free website which has cut through into everyday consciousness enough to be featured in lots of stand up comedians routines

Even if it were the case, the forensic experts employed by the prosecution would be able to proved that the images were accessed even if his defense is claiming he did it unwittingly.
Every file on modern file systems, has a modified, accessed, changed (mac) attribute. It’s a very easy argument to dismiss.
I don't quite know how this shit works but apparently Huw Edwards has been on full pay all this time and was even given an inflation busting pay increase in that time according to today's annual report. He's still the third highest paid presenter at £450k or something. But doesn't work for them. Anyone?

Happens to police officers all the time: suspended on full pay for years while the disciplinary process moves at glacial pace. If they retire before the process finishes, they still get the full pension.

The article was about pay was for the financial year April 2023-April 2024.
And he resigned in April. So "all this time" isnt quite the right way to put it, he doesnt work for them or get paid by them for several months now. As for the pay rise, that apparently got agreed before the stories about his private life emerged.

We could do with Huw Edwards' name being added to the thread title, I'll ask the mods.

That doesn't change anything, the thread has always been about him, it just wasn't known who when the thread was started, so it's logical to add his name to the title now, to avoid someone starting a new one.
Threads will always be started on stories like this, people just need to be careful of what they post, that's always been the case on here.

Unfortunately I suspect you won't be the only person claiming surprise that someone's much younger than they actually look....

Can we change it to Huw Edwards charged with possessing images of child rape?

Not a good idea, we only know he's charged with making indecent images of children, not the nature of them. (edited to remove incorrect info.)
In fact, it would be a good idea to edit your post, making claims like that, when it hasn't be reported in the public domain is just the sort of thing that's a big no-no, and could get urban in trouble.

Exasperated, not angry.
6 category A offences, which are the worst

Logical head on.
I’m guessing the “grade” or “categories” of his obscene pictures as stated in the charges are driven by quite specific parameters, probably including trashpony ‘s description.
Pretty fucked up and grim all round tbh.

I missed that bit, I have edited.

I known the offences relating to this are categorised for a reason but I struggle to get my head round the idea there's a worst form as such.
Also, investigating and allocating these images must be hell on the mental health of those police officers doing so.

But not the bit where you said I should edit my post? My thread title suggestion is accurate

You can't make claims like that when it's an ongoing criminal case, that's the bloody law, FFS.

Yes it does.
Fortunately, coming from private enterprise we would involve police as soon as we saw anything suspect. But if these celebrities are anything to go by, it is just the tip of the iceberg. And it is.

It’s not a claim, it’s a fact. He’s been charged with possession of category A images. That’s what Cat A images are. Oh okay they could be images of children being tortured instead?
