The case was heard at Cardiff Crown Court, where the jury was told that Dylan Dawes, 50, had built a large collection of more than 6,200 indecent images of children over a span of 16 years. Out of these, 192 images were classified under Category A, which is considered the most serious level. The material was found stored across different devices, including a hard drive, a compact laptop, and two iPads.
During the four-day hearing, the court was informed that Dawes had used search terms like “jailbait” on Google. Investigators also found that all the illegal files were kept in a folder named “Dylan Account” on his computer. These details played a key role in the case.
Dawes tried to defend himself by saying that he often allowed his BBC colleagues to use his devices for work, and suggested that someone else might have downloaded the images. However, the court did not accept this explanation. Judge Eugene Egan stated that the jury reached its decision based on what he described as “overwhelming evidence.” Dawes was ultimately found guilty on all six charges.
He had been associated with the BBC since 2001. After the verdict, the BBC chose not to comment on the matter.
The BBC has always been anti-India
The BBC misleads the coverage of the terror attack in Pahalgam, which took place on 22nd April, 2025, in Jammu & Kashmir, where Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 Hindu civilians after identifying their religion.
The BBC did not present the full seriousness of the attack. The BBC’s initial headline, “More than 20 killed after gunmen open fire on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir”, failed to clearly call it a terrorist attack.
Another report titled “Pakistan suspends visas for Indians after deadly Kashmir attack on tourists” gave the impression that shifted focus away from the attackers, and it created confusion about who was responsible for the Terrorist attack.
