Huw Edwards - 6 month suspended sentence (pg 107)

[PPT]

organisation of over 24,000 ... how many have been exposed as 'wrong uns' say in the last decade ?

Too many.

 

[jma]

Has anyone ever suggested that a player's career should be over because they had sex with a prostitute? During lockdown? Should Kyle Walker have been fired? Phil Foden? Should their careers be over?

I haven't and I'm not bothered who else has or has not (same with Edwards).

What has that got to do with you and others trying to incorrectly make out this is just a man watches porn story, when it isnt?

Why are you (and many others, including in the media) so desperate to claim it is justba man watches porn story,?

 

[jma]

You mean it's a story because The Sun said he'd been doing something that was a criminal offence. But he hadn't.

They just keep coming.

Anyone well known with such a list of allegations against them (regardless as to whether anyone incorrectly alleges criminality) is going to be a big news story.

I've listed the multiple reasons above. But you are ignoring it just because the Sun is a shit rag.

 

[flb]

Of course there will be an element of that. Any employer would try to distance themselves and minimise the corporate damage done by an employee caught doing something inappropriate.

pretty much like Mendy (allegedly)

 

[BlueHammer85]

Too many.

doubt you'll find any organisation that employs over 24,000 to not have one to many 'wrong uns'

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

You mean it's a story because The Sun said he'd been doing something that was a criminal offence. But he hadn't.

The Sun seems to think that anything 'salacious' is criminal. If it were, they'd never be out of the dock.

 

[Mon Autre]

You are, for some reason, desperate to equate someone watching porn with someone spending 35k on one person, and the levels of obsession/addiction/desperation for personal attention that suggests.

Why? I'm not sure.

And, to address your example, plenty of footballers caught with prostitute are reported on - with none of the same "leave him alone" reaction from the media or general public.

Add in a desire to completely ignore the other accusations made against him by other young people.

If it was a 60 year old watches porn story it wouldn't even make the pages of the Toy Town Gazette.

But it isn't. And that is why it is news.

The ONLY people who have claimed he spent £35k on this person are the family who have already seen most of their story debunked.

Also, i find it interesting that people think this is somehow worse than porn given the level of exploitation and lack of safe guarding that historically existed in the porn industry. At least on stuff like OnlyFans, the people selling content can have a hell of a lot more agency over what they want to do and keep a much higher cut of the money (unless of course they're being trafficked/forced like in the Andrew Tate story).

At this point, nobody really knows what has happened outside of the fact it seems that Huw Edwards purchases sexual content online. That in of itself isn't a big deal. Anything else around ages, amounts of money, what the money was spent on is all heresay at the moment and the worst of it has either already been debunked or come from people who don't seem to be of great character themselves.

All the 35 grand stuff is deviating the story, having had a quick google, and average onlyfans acount is about £20 a month and some. thing pike a cam site sells tokens for similar per 100

so lets say this lass. or lad he was paying to watch was a cam model he could have been easily paying £20-£60 on private shows a time, and lookingat article about such models some have regulars who will visit them daily , soon adds up to 35 grand tbf

dear do really when you can wank ober porn forr free practically anywhere online, bit then iexppect he was also after some kind of human conection

who knows only the man himself

 

[BlueHammer85]

Edwards put a photo of his arse on social media did he? Ok m8.

that's fake

He stands accused of

- spending a ridiculous amount of money on one sexual content provider - which people don't do purely for photos, they do so for attention and because of a level of obsession - and the ridiculous lack of judgement this suggests

- breaking lockdown rules to meet someone else he gave monetary gifts after meeting on a dating site

- communicating with others he met on dating sites, presumably not with the intention of learning about their thoughts on the latest developments regarding Brexit

None of this seems to have been denied.

All of this whilst married and therefore, at best, living a double life to some degree, at worst, deceiving his family.

And all the other people he has been involved with are approximately a third his age.

If you think that isn't newsworthy and that the fact that some people involved aren't some sort of saintly figure makes it all nonsense .... well, that is mental and not living in the real world.

Such things have always been considered newsworthy and people involved in them - whilst I don't make a moral judgement on them - know this when they engage in them. Celebrities or not.

He's taken big risks and, unfortunately for him, been caught out. The consequence, and one of the downsides to all the huge benefits he gets by being a public figure, is being in the news.

He would not (or should not, at least) be in the news for "watching porn".
