Huw Edwards, 63, has been sentenced to a six-month jail sentence suspended for two years at Westminster Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to three charges of making indecent images of children.
A South Wales Police investigation into another adult male, who has now been sentenced for similar offences, identified they were in communication via social media with Edwards.
WhatsApp chat between the male and Edwards was sexual in nature and it also showed that Edwards was giving him gifts and money. Within the chat, there were numerous sexually explicit images, including 41 indecent images of children.
“This prosecution sends a clear message that the CPS, working alongside the police, will work to bring to justice those who seek to exploit children, wherever that abuse takes place.”
