As much as he probably hasn't done anything technically illegal he's still cheating on his wife which is a shitty thing to do. This of course assumes that the partner/wife doesnt know and or doesnt approve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 If it was off OnlyFans and the presenter in question had no idea they were under 18 (if they even were, they claim otherwise) then the scandal is on OF anyway really and we've technically already had that story and they've supposedly tightened up their verification since. And if they weren't under 18 then all we really have is "guy looks at teen porn." If we find that creepy then we should probably stop fetishising and sexualising teenagers as a society en masse as a multi billion (trillion?) dollar global industry. The Sun especially have no place trying to act as moral arbiters on that front with their creepy and disgusting count downs til female celebrities turn 16 and their history of appallingly young photoshoots one step away from the mass distribution of child porn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Apologies; had read it again and he was referring to last nights' report and not laters'. - Reckon The Sun is either making some of the things up; or is holding key evidence back for some reason. I suspect the bbc presenter had one of those as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaphamFox Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 20 minutes ago, Jon the Hat said: The Sun had a the 20 year olds denial before the published it. How ridiculous. I hope he somehow manages to sue them. They didn't name him so he won't be able to sue them. Their lawyers would have been all over this story before they published it - however cynical and exploitative the story might be, it almost certainly does not break any rules.

The media set the agenda I think it's a bit of both: the media "rags" tell people what they want to hear and that sells, but through specific framing and sensationalism they can also manufacture and manipulate that want to a degree too. Either way, the truth be damned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
String fellow Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 If every BBC presenter who isn't the person involved states publicly that they aren't the one, as Jeremy Vine, Gary Lineker et al have done, then presumably the privacy laws will be circumvented by the public using a spot of logic to work out who it must be. To me, this story feels like a game where someone tells everyone else that they've got a big secret, but they won't reveal it. Simply by telling folk you've got a big secret is surely the first step to it be discovered, one way or another. The secret of keeping a secret secret is to keep quiet about having the secret.

FoyleFox Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 (edited) BBC BREAKING NEWS Detectives from the Met's Specialist Crime Command have now concluded their assessment and have determined there is no information to indicate that a criminal offence has been committed. Huw Edwards named as presenter by his wife Vicky Flind, the wife of news reader Huw Edwards, has named him as the BBC presenter facing allegations over payments for sexually explicit images in a statement issued on his behalf. In her statement, Vicky Flind said her husband Huw Edwards was "suffering from serious mental health issues" and is now "receiving in-patient hospital care where he will stay for the foreseeable future" as she asked for privacy for her family.
