The court heard that Edwards, 62, was involved in an online chat with an adult man on the messaging service who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.

The images that were sent included seven of what are known as “category A,” which are the most indecent. Of those, the estimated age of most of the children was between 13 and 15, but one was aged between 7 and 9, the court was told.

The court also heard that the unnamed male asked Edwards on Feb. 2, 2021, whether what he was sending was too young. Edwards told him not to send any underage images. Five more, though, were sent, and the exchange of pornographic images continued until April 2022.

Speaking in Edwards’ defence, his lawyer Philip Evans said there is “no suggestion” that his client had “in the traditional sense of the word, created any image of any sort.”

Edwards, he added, "did not keep any images, did not send any to anyone else and did not and has not sought similar images from anywhere else.”

I’m curious exactly how many people have been on HIGNFY who have also been involved in some sort of sex scandal. Because more than in a lot of shows.

what does “making” mean? how do you make those images without committing other crimes at the same time
