What do you think the questions are that aren’t answered yet?There are a lot of questions for the BBC. Not least that they knew he was arrested in November, and yet they continued not only to employ him, but to keep paying him as their best paid journalist, their best paid newsreader, which will be very surprising to people. They’ve said that if they had known he had been charged, and obviously the charge happened after he left the BBC, so they weren’t made aware of him being charged.
So it isn’t that you need to wait until there’s a criminal allegation anyway, and a lot of the defenders of Huw Edwards originally were pointing out that it wasn’t clear originally, and obviously the police then decided that he hadn’t committed a criminal act in relation to the young person who The Sun reported that he’d received explicit images for. But of course you might still, without crossing a criminal bar, have been dragging an organisation into disrepute.
