All the furore that has ensued is purely down to a newspaper trying to sell it's product by trying to make salacious innuendo without reference to the truth.

Totally agree.
The infuriating thing for me is that there was speculation about this for weeks on end.
Even though Huw wasn't named in it, he would clearly know it was about him.
It was constantly in the media as "someone did this" and made out constantly that something had happened potentially with a child involved.
And then the whole thing ends up with him being named. Mainly because the stress has given him a breakdown and he's in hospital and his wife decided to come out with it to end all the speculation as to whom the allegations refer to.
After that it all goes quiet.
Then it turns out (comparatively under the radar) that in fact there wasn't anything wrong and then it also so happens the lad is 18 so perfectly legal.
However people then choose to judge this is down to their own personal views and morals...
Tbf the media who let this go on and on for weeks on end really should issue a full apology but they won't and the damage has been done. The mistake was reporting it in the first place.
