Ditto Richard Bacon
The thing is that news and current affairs presenters or journalists or children's TV staff at the BBC are *meant to be* the squeaky clean face of the BBC and the British Govt and the reputation of UK politics and the Royal Family around the globe. This is why HE is a 100% already a goner.
Wouldn't be surprised if we're also going to find out he's been dabbling too.
In my experience, there used to be people in other positions and especially in Light Entertainment (read Eastenders) who when it came to attention they were struggling with substances would be either requested to go to treatment or given time out to sort themselves out.

There's a fairly cohesive 'de-fund the BBC' activism movement in the UK these days. There's all sorts of types of people who support it. So, they'll be making sure this story doesn't just fade away.
That’s another reason I’m fuming at Huw. The damage he’s caused others aside…
he’s given naysayers another stick with which to beat the BBC.
I don’t doubt it’s full of entitled rich white men at the top and could do with a real culture shift… but I don’t want it to be defunded. And this really adds fuel to that particular fire

I'm just gonna put this out there. This might sound totally insane but I'd like to see Huw come back and explain it all. Call me nosey, dirty or whatnot but I'm still very curious and interested in how a married father of 5 becomes interested in young men in his 60s - if that is the case.
Huw could be candid and put the B into LGBTQIA+ through a series of well publicised programmes on the BBC. They would love that! Maybe we could hear his wife's side of the story as well. Are they 60s swingers?
I'd love an open confession and a comeback. George Michael turned it around when he was caught begging for cock in an LA toilet. Couldn't Huw do something similar? After all, we've been told that nothing illegal occurred.
Discuss.
I personally don’t want a dirty old man taking advantage of those more vulnerable than him for his own sexual gratification.. to be given a platform. He doesn’t need to defend himself, most British journalists are rally round him already. He’s had all sort of defences in his favour and he hasn’t had to utter a word. This thread alone has cast him as a poor older man, manipulated by the evil teen, through to him potentially having Alzheimer’s and losing his inhibitions. It’s insane.
if there is anyone who should be given a platform, it’s the young man he exploited.
