British TV presenter Huw Edwards was given a suspended sentence at a London court on Monday after admitting to making indecent images of children.

Former British TV news presenter Huw Edwards, the long-time face of the BBC's flagship news programme, was given a suspended sentence at a London court on Monday after admitting making indecent images of children.

Huw Edwards can visit playgrounds and access several internet services despite pleading guilty to making indecent images of children. The former BBC journalist received a six-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to three charges in July.

Immediately after leaving court, the disgraced presenter's life will have been able to resume with what, the Mail has learned, are surprisingly ­minimal legal restrictions.
