Why in US Dollars?
$45.000 for some photos?! I feel a significant part of this story is missing.
The whole story is kind of missing at the moment.
@Mark Grant Hehe, I mean how can they even put out the story before asking the “victim”?
@tiefensucht – Huw knows? 😜
Sounds like blackmail to me
@Robert Sellers – How? The kid is claiming it is rubbish and isn’t backing the story. No one is asking for money, nothing is being extorted.
I dont understand the problem, the age of consent in the U.K is 16 years old. The person was 17-18. The girl is not stupid, she was getting paid for 3 years, and when the money stopped all this comes out. Its a case of black mail to me.
A male
It’s all amazingly confused now. Yes, age of consent has been 16 for many years in the UK and still is. But age for taking or publishing explicit photos was raised to 18 in about 2003. This brought UK into line with US law on films and images. I think this was mainly to simplify enforcement by harmonising practice in the two major English-language countries.
Defund the BBC !
What else would you expect from those tory stooges, bbc? The slime network that protected and “celebrated” jimmy savile, even after his crimes were openly known?
This is a diversion, when the media jump one small irrelevant issue you know something else is going on.
Simply kick in the door of the bbc and the whole rotting, decaying, sordid and corrupt structure will collapse.
Just think of some of the biggest nonces of recent years and What they have in common !
Who was it
No wonder they got rid of that bloke protesting in a tent outside of the BBC & didn’t cover Spider-Man damaging the Eric Gill Statue 😅
She was 17 years and 11 months old. Jail him for life!
You mean “he”. The Teenager is male.
The age of consent in england is 16.
Criminals in the bbc
The BBC and Channel Four needs to employ good decent people. The media should not employ bullies, wife beaters, rapists and child abusers. The media should not support evil.
The BBC is evil
Poor Harry now looks like the culprit
What’s the age of consent in England? Internet says 16. What’s the problem
Oh gosh thought it was your reporter from your thumbnail. Seriously dangerous for this guy if people look and not click.
Norton?
Why are you talking in dollars, THIS ISN’T AMERICA, use pounds
Completely nuts!
Does it rhyme with mayhem bought em?
I don’t think putting Harry F’s photo as the thumbnail pic is right in that scenario…I feel sorry for him 😢
For real! Someone get them to change this.
Leave this man alone
BBC has fallen . CNN has fallen . FOX has fallen .
The West has and is falling deeper every single day .
The West is falling in Real Time .
She knew EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING she got the money and did whatever she wanted with the money!!!
The teenager is male.
The teen is female
@Della Ingham. Which one are you talking about as there are now 2
Huw Edwards
Everyone knows its huw edwards 🥱🥱, its not really a secret
I am so confused with UK law. Isnt the age of consent 16? So why is this illegal? Sorry, I am not from the UK so I dont know.
If one person is a child and the other is an adult, and there is a five year age gap, then the adult is a p3do.
It is illegal to make, distribute or own sexual images of anyone under 18.
If this was anything or anyone else they would be nuked off the earth but because it’s British just like savile it’ll be forgotten about and all attention put on something that isn’t even relevant but the hype will be 100x worse
Im sorry so ot became problematic years after accepting multiple payments.. wrong is wrong… but isnt accepting the money like aiding and abetting… the moment the proposition was made was the time to make the reports.. get bbc guy outta here but investogate that parent also!
Nicky Campbell
Nicky has said he is going to the police about his name being thrown around, it’s not him. The word is he is a Welsh newsreader.
Yes the BBC sick they covered up Jimmy Savile now the sick bbc are at it again so why we paying the sick bbc a tv licence stop paying now
I though Harry Fawcett was the guy doing payments…..
Shut bbc down.
It was 35 yesterday 😂
He who protesteth eh. 😂
Huw Edwards
This should be a reset of how the BBC is funded by public money.
UK Media needs a serious shake up. This is too great a Country to be diminished by it’s media and lack of accoutability
BBC kept lying about the Syrian war and the supply of weapons that ended up in the hands of various ISIS militants. For a license paid service, you’d expect a degree of autonomy from the clutches of Downing Street!
The BBC is a morally bankrupt organisation. They only care about virtual signaling but they close ranks when they have a scumbag amongst themselves.
BBC is a paedophile organization and it has going for years
😂😂😂😂😂 Western media’s same stories the same habits by tge same people 😂😂😂😂😂That’s your history 😂😂😂
Bbc is corrupt get rid of them
ITV must be licking their lips…
ITV 1
BBC 2
I recon its Lineker.
Huw Edwards isn’t doing the proms anymore so I’m guessing its him.
About Australian Dollars 67K – this is absolutely crazy and not only the money but the sexual request. May this man be thrown in jail and registered as a sexual predator – for life!
The NHS is full of foreign nurses looking after foreigners
by not divulging the name of the perp, they hope no more victims will come forward, that’s why they hide it. the bbc are a ten of Paedophilic scum.
Why in dollars not pounds ?? Very odd
Click bait image of Aljazeera employee
Normal life, in today’s society. We must be fair to all sides. Brand/ Who gives two hoots. It is the State.
This isn’t a scandal at the moment. Its something the BBC need to deal with carefully but quickly.
Why doesnt BBC report on child trafficking?
And sound of freedom?
Children are being kidnapped and killed by Satanist.
Their drug of choice is Adrenochrome.
The childrens adrenalised blood.
Its the fountain of yourh for these satansts..
WHY ISNT ANY MAINSTREAM NEWS reporting on this????
All main stream media tells lies.
BBC been doing it from the start.
You will never get the truth from these satanist puppets.
BBC only hires pedos.
Saville the biggest of them all and very close friends with the so called royals.
The World aint run the way you think
You have already lost when you compromise with China! The Chinese government will use their unique sharp power! Economic coercion will control you forever!
Defund the BBC. Take to the streets for something that REALLY matters.
Is this yet another cover up. It’s about time this behaviour is dealt with speedily. It’s another reason why the tv licence is scrapped. They think they rule the world. They are coming across as seedy individuals some of whom use it for their perversions. This taints all the presenters as everyone wonders which one this time.
Television at the moment appears as a place for abuse to flourish
Where did this young lady puts her Hugh sums of money. Not in Coutts Bank i hope they ask questions.???
Hugh edwards isn’t it??
Well done keeping the comments on 🎉
You got a subscription for keeping the comments on ❤
But…but…the age of consent is 16 in the UK….so why are the media concerned with a 17 year old?
Because the legal age for sharing explicit images is 18. And the public pay television licence fees (which only go to the BBC) which pay this man’s hefty salary. Also there seems to have been some manipulation of a vulnerable young person (drug addicted). We don’t really want people in privileged positions who are immoral behind closed doors.
Huw edwards.
And this “BBC” boycotted Qatar World Cup. It’s timely punishment for their racism.
This is disgusting behaviour from an employee of such a major cooperation, as i stated a while ago i do not believe Jimmy Saville was alone in his behaviour , weather the bbc choose to ‘turn a blind eye’ i have no idea but what kind of culture is this .what do they want us to pay our licence fee for ? When we could be funding potential predetors huge salaries .😒
i havent had a telly or watched bbc this century…. whats wrong with everyone?
Im not even religious, but the people in positions of power and influence in the west make me think there is a devil
We paid for the pictures with our tv licence
Because The BBC protect the predatory elitist they employ. They have a history of doing so. “Don’t ask and don’t tell”. Mark Page, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall, Ben Thomas and the biggest pervert, Jimmy Saville all evaded prosecution for years. Their sickening behaviour and the disgusting acts they committed towards their victims fell on deaf ears.
The BBC a national treasure?
A national disgrace more like.
Funnily enough they were just calling for Huw Edwards to be knighted. If there is evidence she was only seventeen he must be charged
He*
Devout christian
The entire nation has been duped, with this “story”. Not as if Boris Johnson doesn’t have connections at the BBC to get a story like this to air. THE SAME DAY HIS COVID WHATSAPP MESSAGES WERE DUE TO BE RELEASED and he has failed to do so…AGAIN!
The tv licence fee goes on child buggery always have.
People unfortunately love gossip and tabloid nonsense. It turns out the story was a hoax. The sacked bbc reporter filed for a breach of privacy and won the case against the bbc
Seen the latest news. The Sun never letting facts get in the way of hatred of BBC .
We need names
Tory Alex Chalk said he wants the BBC to hold a fast and vigorous inquiry into the presenters many for photos would that be as fast and vigorous as the tory chris pilcher inquiry
Huw do people think it is?
Just follow the money 35k is very hard to hide, I’m not even a detective or a rocket scientist lol
The Bbc reporting its own downfall … do not pay you license
Oh so will they interview him like they did Tate that apparently is not guilty of the charges claimed or will white privilege prevail and the matrix will take pitty on its pigs….😅
Btw.. it’s hew edwards… If anyone wants to know….😂😂😂
I wonder Huw it could be?
I THINK ITS HUW EDWARDS.
So just a thought. If a grown man is chatting to your child. Why would you make a complaint at their work and not at your local police station 🤔🤔🤔
But a teen can be a consenting adult?
Its Huw Edwards
“For anyone with any sense, who was in trouble, would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, I’m in a jam, can you help? It might be debt, it might be… a scandal involving small boys, or any kind of scandal in which, erm er, a member seemed likely to be mixed up in, they’d come and ask if we could help and if we could, we did. And we would do everything we can because we would store up brownie points… and if I mean, that sounds a pretty, pretty nasty reason, but it’s one of the reasons because if we could get a chap out of trouble then, he will do as we ask forever more.” – Tim Fortescue, Tory Party Whip 1970 -1973
The biggest sin of the BBC is recording over thousands of hours of music performances and more from the 60s & 70s because the tape was too expensive!
Oh, protecting sexual predators like Jimmy Somerville, etc. Unforgivable!
Jim’ll Fix It…..
He should be named it’s not fair for the rest of the highly payed presenters to take the blame and abuse on social media . It’s not right
Its a real hew did it😂😂😂
Huw
Chang that thumbnail. My God have some basic self awareness.
Shut down bbc.. Malignant to the core in
It’s strange just how many who gravitate towards the entertainment industry are sexual deviants. Do we really have to have our noses constantly rubbed in the dirt by these disclosures ?.
