I'm not sure that will bring any comfort to his wife and 5 children. | |

Unfortunately, most of the internet already knew because pictures had started doing the rounds. Inevitable.
More concerned about the allegations he was threatening someone than him spending money on pictures personally.
Although there's something somewhat funny about a "devout" Christian doing it. |  |

Absolutely.
However the Sun started all this saying it was criminal and the police have said it's not.
Obviously his wife and family won't get comfort from that though.

That won't stop Twitter making stuff up. Anything involving the BBC seems to be fair game for some people to wildly speculate and outright lie. |  |

Now he's been publicly outed, The Sun can now published all of their "evidence". If there is none then they will be making a large payout. | |

There was a good discussion on the News Room podcast with a media lawyer on this. Seems the Sun really need to get their ducks in a row and stand up proper evidence to avoid it, which looks unlikely you'd assume.
Likewise he compared it to Lord McAlpine who sued the social media accounts with large followers rather than individuals which seemed to be seen as sensible then, but might not be now given the way media spreads so much quicker and further now. |  |

Would never have thought it of ole Huw, basically a national treasure.
Bet he was squirming when he was reporting on Phil Schofield the other month! | |

His battles with serious depression are well-known.
But still the sun went ahead.
They really are unspeakable individuals at the sun. They could end up with Huw's blood on their hands.
But even that won't stop them. |  |

Well his wife did it on his behalf. Not as the parting shot in a divorce, so maybe it isn't what some are making it out to be. |  |

Does having mental health issues make such behaviour less repulsive? It can explain individuals behaviour, but do people suffering from depression lose their sense of right and wrong? Not looking for an argument just interested whether you, or other posters know the answer.
The Sun will never stop. Both the Tories and Labour are guilty of courting that rag and turning a blind eye to their take on good journalism. And of course, other tabloids are just as guilty. |  | | |

And the sun's lawyers would have advised the editor that would be the case.
And they went ahead. | |

Not unusual for the Sun. Something of a track record.
Hopefully this time, they'll pay the price. | |

Surely The Sun will stop if it is bankrupted and goes the way of The News Of The World. [Post edited 12 Jul 2023 18:45]

Legally, nothing as far as the police are concerned. Some of the allegations against him don't look great, but they need to be investigated fully before making a judgement. |  |
