Chief Magistrate, district judge Paul Goldspring, stated that Edwards' long-earned reputation was in tatters, highlighting the reputational and financial damage he brought upon himself.
The BBC expressed that Edwards had betrayed not just the organization, but also the audiences who put their trust in him, calling the corporation appalled by his actions.
Despite the severity of the charges, the chief magistrate mentioned that Edwards showed genuine remorse, which contributed to the decision to suspend his six-month prison sentence.
Edwards was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, suspended for two years, factoring in mitigating circumstances during the sentencing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
