Huw's issues

More bits and bobs from the court reports about Huw Edwards. 

Dr Michael Isaac, (LVO, MA (Cantab), MB, BS (Lond), IFAPA, FRCPsych, MAE, QDR) a consultant psychiatrist and neuropsychiatrist, with contact details available on Expert Witness. 

'I consider that from approximately 2018… when Mr Edwards took two months of sick leave following an anonymous denunciation, Mr Edwards on balance exhibited a mental impairment that had a significant (non-trivial) effect on his ability to carry out day-to-day activities, including his decision-making capacity and judgment.'

Psychosexual therapist Dr Virginia Appleyard (Diploma in Psychosexual Therapy, Herbert Gray College, Relate, Rugby; Post Graduate Conversion Diploma (Psychology), London Metropolitan University; Masters Degree in Counselling, University of South Australia, Adelaide; Masters Degree in Politics, London Guildhall University) described how Edwards was 'particularly destabilised through the process of commencing a social media presence which allowed him to interact with people that otherwise he would never have engaged with'.

'His social media engagement presented as an easy way to manage his low mood and provided him with a number of men and women who were motivated to be sexual with him which not only boosted his fragile self-esteem but allowed him to re-engage with his sexual interest in men which had been managed since 1994.

'The feelings of being desirable and unseen alongside Mr. Edwards' unresolved sexual orientation created a perfect storm where he engaged in sexual infidelities and became vulnerable to people blackmailing him.'
