For anyone interested this is a good round-up of the allegations.

Talking generally and not about Huw. This is happening more and more …
You’re in the public eye , you make bad choices that fly in the face of your public image, the media catch you , the story gets played out in public , that affects your mental health.
The questions are should the bad thing...
Putting to one side the Huw Edwards story which is impossible to pick the bones out of .
On a general level …
Looking at porn ? Pretty much normalised . Not recommended for vicars though
Only fans ? I don’t have an account . But doesn’t it blur the boundaries between looking at pictures and...
The sun have backtracked on whether illegality has taken place . They haven’t said the whole thing is cock and bull .
illegality is one thing, integrity is another .
Your last point - yes , fair point
I’m not defending cf. i agree he or she does speak a lot of nonsense. I just think some of cfs points here were in the 2% not horseshit.
On a general level , on twitter last week huw was compared to saville . That was disgraceful.
Re Huw’s alleged behaviour. he’s traded off his wholesome image...
Yep, very aware of his depressive episodes going back 20 years . I have no doubt he is in a terrible place atm. He is ‘fortunate ‘ in that he is rich enough to afford the best care. Unfortunately that’s not the case with the other 99% (different story ). I hope he gets well asap.
None of that...
If you were a very rich person in the public eye and someone accused you of essentially being a fraud by portraying yourself as upstanding person but actually being other than that, what course of action would you take, right from the off ?
History says well resourced stars tend to annihilate...
Yep, I’m aware of his previous mental health history.
The pressure as he tried to limit the damage at the end of last week would have been enough to bring anyone’s mental health down though.
If he‘s behaved as deceptively as reported his dramatic downfall was self inflicted.
Don‘t forgot this...
Behaving with integrity seems to be worth so little these days.
If anything being honest and transparent is viewed as a weakness.
Society might live to regret that.
Sure, a few idiots who write off mental health and have voodoo dolls of Huw may have cause for self reflection at some point.
What about the moderates though Harry ?
Those that feel that just because the allegations (if stood up) are not illegal, it doesn’t make them ok.
And those that feel...
If they want to reinvent his image then they will. I reckon the masses will buy into it.
The narrative already is the sun said it was illegal. It wasn’t. Bad Sun. Poor Huw.
Those that say “even if what was alleged wasn’t illegal, it was still more than bad” are being pushed out of the picture...
What makes you think he will lose his job?
The narrative now seems to be he didn’t do anything illegal so it’s sort of ok and none of anyone’s business. And that he deserves sympathy for the state he is now in.
More likely there will be a half hour special where he gets the chance to say sorry...
If you judge the sun solely by the standards of their coverage of hillsborough then you would see them as evil people out to destroy innocent people all the time. Fair enough. That’s certainly the Liverpool view.
Some take a broader view. taking a broader view doesn’t amount to a defence of...
Re The Sun.
The paper said it has evidence that the man/woman sold pictures when they were 17.
It’s been reported 18 is the cut off when it comes to legality.
Stripping away the “the sun lies” hysteria for a moment, it’s fantasy to think they would have published that story if they didn’t have...
One of the worst aspects of all this was the way the bbc star (who we now know is Huw Edwards) was compared to saville and called the worst kind of paedophile . Plus there was all the unfounded speculation of who it was, with names named.
Where did this happen? On social media of course...
