It is somewhat shocking to me that most of the coverage I've seen over the last hour can be summarized as "circling the wagons" around Huw rather than anything about the kid who is at the heart of this story. The fact is that there is a lascivious old man who was paying a 17 year old for pornographic pictures of himself. That's a crime, both literally and morally. (The age of consent is 16, but my understanding is that the law rightfully says that naked pictures of anyone under 18 is child pornography....and so this is a case about child pornography, at least for the first year it was happening). So let's get some perspective. Huw is not the victim here...the young man is. Huw also is not deserving of sympathy...the young man is.

Huw destroyed his own life - not The Sun. I'm surprised Nigel would not agree with this disclosure. 😐

[@mogznwaz]

The Sun only got this story because the parents went to them after getting nowhere with the BBC

We all knew about Huw in the media. There’s many more people out there who were harassed by him

[@ryan.1990]

If this is how one of the most respectable presenters behaves, imagine how the rest of them must behave...

[@pamelabowden3017]

The thing is, many of us forget that most of the people on TV use a persona. We are led to believe that they're like extended family, whom we welcome into our homes daily. They convince us that they are suffering the way us mere mortals are, and that they understand our struggles. It's all poppycock 😔

[@BlackDahlia776]

Get rid of the license fee why should we pay Huw Edwards suspended on full pay.

[@G4NoChallenge]

He exists in the public domain and If his private life should have been kept private, someone should have told his wife, but it happened, so let the public decide now if it matters or not. Huw Edwards career, prestige, marriage, family life, etc, etc, has been destroyed by his despicable behaviour and of course he will be deeply effected and now via his 'wife' he is looking for sympathy? this was all self inflicted! Must say, its a bit concerning how Nigel seems to defending public peoples lives being kept secret if they are doing immoral stuff!

You should probably be arrested anyway for saying sorry to Nigel.

[@emf49]

Why is Farage defending him so vociferously? It’s not a good look. Yes, millions of rich, powerful men - and otherwise - are into this type of behaviour but it should never be defended by saying “others do it too”. This isn’t about ‘others’. It’s about one particular man who has (allegedly) abused his position of authority and needs to be held accountable.

[@bobpendlebury3733]

Nigel...what are you thinking? You've lost my vote for sure.

[@WilliamWatt-xm2gu]

This BBC News presenter typically tries to make out that he’s a pillar of the community but he’s nothing of the sort. He’s just one more sexual predator who works for the vile corrupt and totally disgusting BBC, it’s now time to defund them and hopefully put them out of business for good.

[@Lufe6301]

I suppose its fair to ask what if he had not been found out now where would it have ended and maybe for the man himself it might be a blessing in disguise.

[@d.d.mac.3773]

I think the interesting thing is that he took advantage, by being older, wiser and richer, of a younger, less worldly, poorer person, which may not be illegal, but it is unkind and probably not what he'd want for his own children. The other thing is that now that he has been found out, he checks into a hospital and claims victimhood. Seems straight out of the liberal handbook.

[@Songbirdstress]

Grand children, his children must be at least 30. His grand kids must be creeped out.
