I'm terrified as well. There's a thread on mumsnet about Huw Edwards. It's full of p words and calls for the death penalty.

Hang on, because I'm a bit gobsmacked after reading a post on twitter by secret barrister - he hasn't been given a shpo?! Why? And based on our experiences of sentences he has 7 years SOR? Not indefinite?

Yes - I think it raked up a few feelings for me too, and not just distaste at his sentence. I refuse to read those uneducated comments, like we always say on here - would they hold the same opinions if one of their loved ones were 'caught out'.

They were talking about it in my office yesterday. Now most of them know what I have been through. I wanted to get up and walk out but that would have drawn attention to myself. I wanted to tell them how many men are arrested each month - and how this could do easily be a family member, colleague or neighbour.

I'm slowly rebuilding my life. One of the reasons I ended my relationship is that I knew this would never go away. Things like this prove me right sadly.

I'm with you all..the publicity around this case has me terrified. It's been just over a year since the police raid. I'm terrified if my husband goes to court now it will be made public. I'm thinking about moving again but sadly I don't have many options. Hoping the Huw Edwards news story blows over soon.

hpl111. I read the comments that were written about my husband on the police fb page. The comments were equally awful from complete strangers, people locally and even a cousin who said he should be locked up and the key thrown away.

Mumintears, my ex's case for plea is on Tuesday also. This is his second conviction, the first was 7 years ago. I'm fully expecting another custodial and again, we're terrified that it'll be across the media again. I don't know how we are meant to cope with that? Last time it lead to me be threatened with eviction by my housing association because the ex had broken the terms of the JOINT tenancy ????

Crushed thank you for asking how my son got on at his plea hearing.He pleaded guilty.He has togo back on the 19/11/24. The only good thing was(if there is anything good about all this) it is staying at the magistrates court and not going to crown court. He now has to have reports done by probation. Still very worried and not sleeping hoping for the best but know he has to be punished for what he has done.xx

Crushed, he pleaded guilty at the plea hearing. It's going to crown court but don't know when. Pre sentencing reports and meeting with probation is on the 24th. I'm fully expecting another custodial and that it'll be across the news and social media again. I'm so very tired and traumatised. X
