A PAEDOPHILE Labour mayor caught with the most extreme type of child rape images has used Huw Edwards’ jail let-off to dodge prison.
Labour councillor and Mayor Paul Tweed, 62, got a suspended sentence for possessing the pictures.
Police who raided his family home in May found a horde of images on his laptop.
They included many rated as category A, with children as young as five years old, possibly younger and pictures depicting sex with live and dead animals.
Mr Tweed, who was the Labour Mayor of Sefton in Merseyside, pleaded guilty.
But, defence lawyer Mark Ellis told Liverpool magistrates his case should not be sent to a crown court for fear of a stronger sentence.
He likened it to the paedophile BBC news presenter Huw Edwards, who got a suspended term despite having many category A images.
Mr Tweed was then let off with a nine-month suspended sentence.

Once again it is apparent that groomers and paedophiles (is there a difference?) are more prevalent amongst political parties and people of a certain demographic persuasion than is ”normal”.
