I wonder if this will backfire on GN, especially in relation to Schofield:

BBC apologises to family at centre of Huw Edwards scandal
Formerly the face of BBC News At 10, allegations that newsreader Huw Edwards had paid a teenager for sexual pictures rocked the BBC, leading to a review of the corporation's complaints procedures and a fact-finding investigation.

FTR The family have totally lost contact with the lad now!
Well I for one am shocked that selling a story on your child to the Sun, the Sun then manipulating it to call someone a weirdo, and then the parents not backing down or stopping it when they could would have done has made the Son not want to speak to them. This is a totally unexpected outcome… /S
This was the bit of the story I never understood. They said they were doing it for him, yet this was obviously going to majorly back fire.
I wonder how the lad is doing now.
HE is too poorly to discuss his future with the BCC allegedly.
I feel for the parents. The BBC apology is way too late, arseholes.

Think he would need a stint in Celebrity Big Brother like Barrymore had to try and change public opinion.
The Sun can’t say they didn’t have an agenda though.
Why is she still going to the Sun…? Why hasn’t she learnt? Her son doesn’t trust her, going back to the Sun and talking to them isn’t going to help.Our family's been ripped apart, says mum of young person in Huw Edwards scandal

The second one is an attempt for the Sun to claim they were morally right to do what they did. I’d be interested in if Huw sues them and what the outcome would be…
The Sun seems to equate and spin this apology from the BBC over their handling of the complaint as proof that whatever the family claimed actually occurred (and that it was the crime of the century). Not the same thing obviously but sure, take the moral high ground, The Sun. 
This is exactly why I don’t have much sympathy for the parents.
Saw this on twitter. Tim Davie was questioned again in some committee and the Huw situation was brought up. Fast forward to 00:32
Q: "On the issue of being kind, are you going to bring Huw Edwards back?"
A: "Definitely n... uhm, I'm not gonna comment on an individual case, you know that".
It sounded like he was going to say "definitely not" but he just about saved his butt. His explanation that they just 'had to get through the process fairly with uhm, you know, the right values and ...' also sounded like he was thoroughly sick of the whole thing

Even though the BBC’s highest earners list is still months away (July), The Times is stirring the pot. Also, weird timing to post this on April 1st 
Anyway, the second paragraph here is interesting:
One option available to the BBC is to dismiss Edwards but he is expected to reject the suggestion that he has brought the broadcaster into disrepute.
Social media messages sent by Edwards to junior members of staff, revealed by a Newsnight investigation, are also believed to fall far short of harassment.”
If those messages won’t get him fired, I guess the Beeb will have to make a case for 1) bringing the company into disrepute or something or 2) get a doctor to somehow decide he’s unfit to work forever. Tricky!!

BBC staff frustrated as Huw Edwards still paid six-figure salary

Oof, that would such an interesting trial. How is the BBC going to argue that they themselves weren’t party to the disrepute (ie The Sun story) by not escalating the complaints in a timely manner? Hmmm.
That's one reason why they won't do it, because it would lead to questions about things like that. They know they handled the original complaint badly.
The bum pic would pop up every time he appeared
