Recap:

- The police (both the Metropolitan Police and South Wales Police) announced that no further action will be taken. They have no reason to believe a criminal offence has been committed.

- The wife of Huw Edwards released a statement confirming that he is the person at the centre of the story.

- She also confirmed that Huw has been hospitalised and is experiencing a serious mental health episode. Huw has a long-documented history of mental ill-health.

- Many people feel incredibly sorry for Huw and feel it is inappropriate for someone’s legal and consensual sexual activity to have been dragged out as a massive national “scandal”.

- Some people find it incredulous that a person who has been falsely accused of being a child sex offender across the internet and media would experience a mental health episode. They think that Huw is making it up (!!!) but have presented no evidence to support this claim.

- Already, this is widely considered to be a very dark episode for the tabloid press and social media. The ramifications from this mess could be massive.

- Jon Sopel, Emily Maitlis, Alastair Campbell and John Simpson are among those who have released supportive messages about Huw.

Can anyone clarify which allegations has HE been cleared of and which are still being investigated?

Cleared of any illegal pics but still investigating alleged threats? Is that it?

The thread has been moving so fast I don't know if it's been mentioned that the BBC have said there's allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards colleagues too?

At the end of the day, if Huw has issues surrounding his Sexuality, and we don’t know that yet, sending pics and messages as a high profile member of the BBC , is asking for this trouble, he should have sat down with his wife , told her he has feelings for males , discussed of that was ok in the marriage, and got to grips with it in a better way than this.
