A PAEDO linked to Huw Edwards' indecent image probe has walked free - because the shamed presenter was also spared jail. Jac Davies, 25, was sent vile child sex images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams - including some material involving babies. Williams also provided child sex images to Edwards, who paid the fiend £1,500 for 41 pictures and two videos of a boy as young as seven.

The BBC star had faced a maximum 12 months in jail for the offences but was instead handed a six month sentence suspended for two years. Davies has now also been spared prison after his lawyer argued magistrates should consider "parity" with the broadcaster's sentence.

Stewart Page said: "You are aware of a certain individual who was sentenced a number of months ago - he too had no previous convictions. "The offences that that individual appeared before the court were similar to what Mr Davies appears, and of course you are aware, because the prosecutor outlined this, that a suspended sentence was imposed on that case.".

Davies was given a 12 month sentence, suspended for two years, after pleading guilty to possession of indecent images of children and possession of Class A drugs. He was also banned from having any unsupervised contact with any child under the age of 16 and will remain on the sex offenders' register for ten years.
