Huw Edwards, once the BBC's most senior news presenter, has pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children.

He admitted having 41 indecent images of children, which had been sent to him by another man on WhatsApp, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.
They included seven category A images, the most serious classification.
Until last year, Edwards was one of the main presenters on BBC One's News at Ten and often fronted coverage of major national events.
He was arrested last November and charged last month. He will be sentenced on 16 September and a probation report will be compiled.
Edwards was flanked by police officers and surrounded by photographers as he entered and left the court on Wednesday.
He was expressionless outside court and inside the hearing, which lasted for less than half an hour.
As the charges were read to him, he replied "guilty" three times, quietly and calmly.
The court heard he had been involved in online chat on WhatsApp from December 2020 with an adult man, who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.
Under the law, images can mean both video clips and still pictures. The Crown Prosecution Service said most of the category A images were estimated to show children aged between 13 and 15, but two clips showed a child aged about seven to nine.
Category A images show serious abuse including penetrative sexual activity.
He also had 12 category B pictures, which involve non-penetrative sexual activity, and 22 photographs in category C, which covers other indecent images. The category B and C pictures showed children aged between 12 to 15.
On 2 February 2021, the other man asked whether what he was sending was too young, to which Mr Edwards asked him not to send any underage images, the court heard.
The final indecent image was sent in August 2021 - a category A film featuring a young boy.
The man told Edwards the boy was quite young looking, and that he had more images which were illegal, the court was told.
Mr Edwards told him not to send any illegal images.
No more were sent, and the pair continued to exchange legal pornographic images until April 2022.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service, making indecent images can have a wide definition in the law and can include receiving them via social media.
Edwards's barrister Philip Evans KC told the court: "There’s no suggestion in this case that Mr Edwards has… in the traditional sense of the word, created any image of any sort."
He added that Edwards "did not keep any images, did not send any to anyone else and did not and has not sought similar images from anywhere else".
Mr Evans also said the former broadcaster had experienced "both mental and physical" health issues.
The barrister told the court his client "was not just of good character, but of exceptional character".
Edwards has not been on air since last July following newspaper reports claiming he paid a young person for sexually explicit images.
He resigned from the BBC on medical grounds in April. -

2024-07-31 at 2:36 PM UTCcrazy ur country is so fucked u need to classify different quality sexual images on a rating system
like in the US if u got CP, you got CP. We don't employ pedophiles and give them a badge so they can wank to your wank material and determine how naughty the boys pictured are, that just seems like some nonce + extra noncing
What do you do for a living Officer Harbuckle?
Oh I look at pictures of little boys getting fucked and report to the court how hard they were getting it.
Oh, cheerios then -
2024-07-31 at 2:36 PM UTCsaying taking innocent pictures of young and innocent boys (assuming thats what the britts do) is tentamount to taking "indecent images of children" implies that young boys in their natural un-garmented state is indescent by default, and that theyre indescent in the way, shape and form Gott made them.
r u saying god made indescent children -
2024-07-31 at 2:39 PM UTCI see this english euphemism is lost on you, my friend.
Decent is a colloqialism I guess used in court in England, in the US its just a phrase people use for dressed.
Indecent exposure means you pulled your cock out. -

Floridian law makers should probably find better use of their time and stop jerking off in the public restrooms -

My genitals remain intact and were never mutilated as is the case with many Americans (fucking jedis)...as such no matter how many times I shake it, think I'm done...there's always 1 fucking drop left in there that says "fuck you! Yippeeee! and jumps out" as soon as it's put in my trousers. -

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Whatsapp-vulnerability-allows-script-execution-9815915.html
A security vulnerability in the current version of WhatsApp for Windows allows Python and PHP attachments to be sent. When the recipient opens these, the scripts start automatically without any warning message or further information. However, Python must be installed on the target device for the attack to succeed. Therefore, software developers and power users are primarily susceptible to this vulnerability.
As the news portal BleepingComputer reports, this vulnerability is similar to the problem with Telegram for Windows that occurred in April of this year. Back then, attackers were able to bypass security warnings and execute remote code by sending Python scripts via the messaging client. WhatsApp currently blocks several file types when selecting file attachments. PHP and Python scripts are not included.
Meta is aware of the vulnerability
The vulnerability was discovered by IT security expert Saumyajeet Das. The cyber security researcher had experimented with different file types, which he attached to WhatsApp chat histories to see which file types were allowed and how the attachments behaved when opened.
Usually, trying to open an attached file directly results in an error message from WhatsApp for Windows. Users then only have the option of saving the attachments. BleepingComputer checked these results and was able to confirm the behavior with .EXE, .COM, .SCR, .BAT and Perl files. It also blocked the execution of .DLL, .HTA and VBS file types.
Saumyajeet Das found that the file types .PHP (PHP script), PYZ (Python ZIP executable), .PYZW (PyInstaller program) and EVTX (Windows event log file) are opened directly without prompting when called and executed directly via the application or shell linked in Windows. Saumyajeet sees a particularly high risk when attachments are posted in public and private Whatsapp chat groups, which would reach several recipients with the vulnerable system requirements and the risk of a possible malicious code transfer is correspondingly high. -
