Well, that's it then. Huw Edwards's wife has confirmed that the un-named presenter was, indeed, her husband. This in the wake of the Police investigation concluding that nothing illegal had taken place.

Edwards has openly suffered depression and ment a l health issues but this looks to be the end of his career now and justifiably so if some of the allegations are true. As with the Schofield case, he doesn't have to have technically broken any laws to have still acted in a manner that will lose him his job in terms of bringing the name of his employer into disrepute and creating a lack of trust.

If he is guilty of any form of grooming or abuse of position then tough luck but the Sun is a rag and only out to sell more papers and it's claims to be simply fighting for "justice" and "freedom of speech" are disingenuous at best. The rest of the media empire it belongs to have only tried to amplify this whole thing on their behalf.

The devil is always in the detail but I doubt the Sun will be able to produce the hard evidence to back up all of its claims -though I'm sure it will still gloat over its uncovering of Edwards. To my mind, having been involved in disciplinary hearings myself, the only valid criticism of the process is the length of time it took but the anonymity thing was exactly right regardless of the huge swathes of speculation caused by it.
