As far as I can tell he has done nothing wrong, the police has said there is no case to answer and the adult involved has made it clear that he/she considers the whole thing bullshit and something being stirred up by his or her estranged parents. I'm sure the parents disagree. Even if this teenager had been addicted to crack and estranged from their parents before Huw Edwards came along, he could have only made the situation far worse than it was already. Do you really think there's nothing wrong with paying some crack-addicted kid with broken down family relations to take their kit off in front of you for your pleasure? As far as I'm aware the police wouldn't press charges against you for offering drinks to an alcoholic who is willing to accept them, but that doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with doing that.

At the moment Bylinetimes has its fingers in another potentially similar scandal - this time it's about a GB News presenter. The material he gathered was meant as collection of Kompromat to be used later. I'm looking forward for other media telling us more about it. And I am thrilled to see whether someone starts a thread and whether it will gain the same length. Whatever the scandal (or not) around the GB News presenter, the reason why it won't gain anything even close to the same traction as the Huw Edwards scandal is because hardly anybody watches GB news, chances are we've never heard of the presenter, and GB News isn't the national broadcaster whose upkeep every household with a TV set has to pay £159 per year towards. You are trying to find bias by looking for equivalences that simply don't exist.
Still, I have no doubt that if the scandal ever does come out, you'll be posting a thread about it and singlehandedly maintaining it for years to come! In an effort to restore balance, of course.
The GB scandal is more shocking but granted it isn’t a high profile celebrity like Huw Edwards nor does it involve someone who appears to be closeted like Edwards.

Haha, even by GB News standards, he's awful. Hopefully this is the end of him.

If he was aware, or even if he suspected it, it's pretty unpleasant, even if not technically illegal.

So no matter how vulnerable this 'consenting adult' is, there is nothing wrong with other people taking advantage of him, and none of your business to make any judgement on their actions, other than to say "it's not something I'd do?" I'm just astounded.

I suppose the main question is whether Edwards was aware how vulnerable the teenager was or not. I would suggest the fact that they were a teenager would be an answer to that one! All 17-year-olds are vulnerable to some degree which is why we adults should have a moral duty of care towards them (even if not a legal one). Especially if we are high-profile well-paid TV personalities who enjoy a considerable degree of influence and power.
Prince Andrew is a good example. Even though that girl was 17 at the time and above the age of consent, so technically he did 'nothing wrong' he was nevertheless pilloried as a sleazy scumbag, and rightly so. I'm wondering how well arguments like "he did nothing illegal" or "they were both consenting adults, so none of my business" would have gone down in his particular case.

Apologies, I haven't been following it all that closely.

If, say, a 60-year-old man had sex with a (consenting) 14-year-old girl and then later said "I didn't realise she was only 14, your honour", do you think that would be any kind of excuse? BTW I added the Prince Andrew analogy after you had already responded without realising you had, so sorry about that!
