Ex-BBC host gets suspended sentence for indecent images
Huw Edwards, ex-host of the broadcaster's flagship news program, had pleaded guilty to receiving indecent images of children. There was an outcry over Edwards continuing to receive salary payments following his arrest.
I know that sentence seems absurdly light but it’s important to remember that in England, there’s a lot of precedent for rich perverts being treated differently. It’s a major part of their history, second only to paying those perverts rent with eels.
Huw Edwards may - or may not - be many things but rich is not one of them. He was a television news anchor on the BBC. A bang-average Premier League footballer could easily out earn him.
He makes less than the average footballer in the highest league in the UK? I don't think that's surprising to anyone.

It's my understanding that it's actually a pretty typical sentence. He's obviously sick in the head but has been judged as little risk to children.
It took me a second to understand that. I thought that you meant that the thing with the eels was a pretty typical sentence in English
