Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards has received a six-month suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to having accessed indecent images of children.The 63-year-old ex-anchor of News At Ten appeared in Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday (September 16), where it emerged that he forked out up to £1,500 to obtain the 41 illicit images from a child abuser.Following his admission to three counts of "making" indecent photographs, Edwards was given a suspended jail term.

In addition to the suspension, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring mandated Edwards to enroll in the sex offenders register for a span of seven years and to participate in a sex offender treatment program.The verdict's aftermath has stirred public furor, with many expressing outrage over Edwards avoiding immediate incarceration.

During a Loose Women airing on Tuesday (September 17), panelist Coleen Nolan didn't hide her astonishment at the outcome.She shared: "I was so shocked when it all came out, then the sentence that he got yesterday was just, I was absolutely speechless about it.

I thought, well if they can't use someone, and it was such a high profile case, I thought this is the perfect time now to make an example of this will not be tolerated at all."What message is that putting out to any child abuser or paedophile?
