Info from a friend in the industry:
Porn is made with the adult consent of all involved. Children cannot give such consent and making images of children is a criminal act. CP is a sub-genre where adults who appear to be underage play child roles.

IIOC is a category of illegal images completely separate to the porn industry and includes all children under 18.

It may well just be a difference in law between Irish/UK law so, I know child pornography crime is most certainly a thing here (ireland) and someone in receipt of a 17 YOs intimate images would be considered to be in possession of CP, similarly as would a 17YO who received the same images from their 17YO boyfriend/girlfriend
 
on A very practical level… imagine there’s another similar scandal. Maybe a politician is exposed for doing something similar.

how could Huw feasibly report on it with a straight face? The hypocrisy would be deeply uncomfortable to watch. It would undermine any credibly the BBC had when reporting on the issue. How would he be able to hold this individual to account or interview them, if he’d done something similar?

it’s like when Beth Rigby was found to have partied during lockdown. I thought she should’ve lost her job for that. Because what happened? When she was quizzing Matt Hancock about lockdown parties he made a sly dig back at her and she shut up.

journalists and broadcasters hold the political and elite classes to account. Robust journalism is a cornerstone of democracy. That’s why there needs to be a degree of integrity in the profession. That’s why it’s in the public interest that Huw was exposed. That’s why he should be held to a higher standard than your average Joe.

Huw can’t do his job properly, if his personal conduct undermines him, in a nutshell.
Absolutely. He has compromised himself and his employer. Neither would have wanted this to go public, but these parents went public and forced the BBC’s hand.

Everyone on PAYE will have in their contract that the employee should not do anything to bring their employer into disrepute. He has. It’s that simple.

His news reading career is over, but hey, it’s July, and IACGMOOH is just around the corner. They are no stranger to inviting weasels on to be contestants. He can be this years Matt HanCOCK.
 
I'm not sure why he was thought of as The Nation's Therapist just because he announced that an old lady died 🤷🏼‍♀️

How dare you, when he announced that the old lady died, he did it with such dignity and even bothered putting on a nice suit so we didn't have to see his flabby arse. I congratulate Huge Ass Edwards. I bet YOU wouldn't be able to appear on national television wearing a nice suit and speaking sombrely to the camera for a few minutes, it's a very difficult job that.
 
It hasn't if it ever was been call child pornography in the law inforcment circles foor a couple of decades at least. To the general public anything showng erotic imagery is pornography, which is legal. Using that just isn't right when it is abuse of children.

It never was and still isn't.

The argument that has been mistaken and distorted is that abusers and dark web people trade in CP, that's what 'they' call it. And that label is a distortion because it's not, it's violent sexual abuse of minors which is criminal violation, cannot ever be consented by the youngsters involved, and causes physical and mental harm.
 
Which media outlet should she have gone to then? Assuming the Sun was the first publication she went to, as perhaps no one else wanted to touch it with a barge pole.

Desperate measures for desperate people.

I’m not sure you’ve quoted the right post?

That's quite literally *not* what CP is or what the label CP refers to. I would not wish to discuss this horrid subject any longer but people are going to be in some strange and bizarre situations if they ever thought that's what CP is - it's a term that would make any pornography company's blood run cold. It's something if you heard someone mention, you need to report to the police. It's a very serious very grave term.
 
There's been plenty of discussions somewhat recently about changing the terminology and it seems that a slow shift has started to take place:

Legally it still appears to be called child pornography but the impression I got from the conversation is that it was relating to the whole "teen" category
Legally it isn't. I worked for a number of years for a police force carrying out forensic examinations of computer equipment, phones and digital media. If it wasn't for the fact it would identify me I could link to news repoorts of cases I examined. Not once was it ever referred to as child pornography, it was allways Indecent imagess of children (IIOC) or indecent images depicting the sexual abuse of children.
 
Well, I'm caught up. Bit sad how this threads gone. Assume everyone's a little grouchy from the lack of sleep trying to keep up with it all. Shall we all agree to go to bed, get a good night's kip and bring some banter with us when we log in tomorrow, along with a lovely big smile!



So very sad that there are some saddos on here who can‘t play nicely - miss my funny peeps -Sending fondest goodnight wishes xx
 
Tell me you don't understand mental health issues without telling me you don't understand mental health issues...
Come on, that poster has a point. Huw managed to do all that whilst engaging in a seedier side of life too. Maybe it was his way of release but he held it together until it all came out.

All this talk about mental health it’s like a pissing contest. Well guess what, we all have it, we all struggle at times, some more than others. The sanctimonious posting is ridiculous.

There really is only one person to blame here and that Huw for being a bloody idiot. You can still say that whilst feeling sorry for him for the mess he’s caused.

Thank god someone here to verify. Can you now please explain that CP is not what people are referring to when it's barely legal or young looking role play porn because some people here think they gonna see it as a category on a mainstream site or something.
