David Walsh defends Tom Humphries character reference
His decision was borne out of a 30-year friendship with Humphries, he said, in yesterday’s edition of the Sunday Times. “I wrote a personal character reference for Tom because we have been friends for 30 years and, despite the serious wrong he has done, I could not abandon him,” Walsh said.
He prefaced his statement with “The young girl whom Tom betrayed has suffered terribly from this crime”.
