Former BBC star presenter Huw Edwards has been given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after he admitted charges of making indecent images of children.

Got that? Suspended. He will NOT go to prison

The court heard that among a number of WhatsApp exchanges with a man later convicted of sex offences, Edwards was offered “naughty” images of somebody described as "yng (sic)", to which he replied "go on". He will be placed on the sex offenders' register for seven years.

The former newsreader admitted having 41 images, which were sent to him on WhatsApp – including some showing a victim aged between seven and nine.
