Claiming mental health issues and struggling relationship with his father - basically painting himself as a victim is no excuse for accessing child pornography. He'd been chatting to an on-line paedophile for 4 yrs! Goodness knows what he viewed then deleted in that time.
Should at least be on the Sex Offenders Register - but now he's free to continue his perversion. He's a risk to child safety.

It's not long enough imo
I'm always stunned when famous people risk it all - the cost to them and their family is huge.
How did Edwards think this wouldn't end badly? He was ripe for blackmail - his fall from grace and a shattered reputation are shocking. Why risk it?
