He wasn't as clever as Pete Townsend I guess.

Shame, I never knew he was convicted of being a pedophile. They said he downloaded the porn, but then they also said he abused 3 girls. Was it both?

I believe Pete Townsend. You don’t go tell the cops you’re downloading kiddie porn before you do it if you’re being sneaky. The guy had previously written songs about the sexual abuse of children.

“Townshend accepted a caution from the Metropolitan Police (the Met) as part of Operation Ore, a major investigation on child pornography conducted in 2002–2003. The Met stated that “it was established that Mr Townshend was not in possession of any downloaded child abuse images”. Townshend was on a sex offenders register for five years, beginning in 2003, after admitting he had used his credit card to access a child pornography website.[144][145] Townshend claimed he accessed the images as research in a campaign against child sexual abuse[146] – specifically, to prove that British banks were complicit in channelling the profits from paedophile rings.[147] Authorities could not prove that the website accessed by Townshend involved children, and no incriminating evidence was found on his personal computer.[148]”

So why would the police have to admit he told them he was going to go there, and the arrest him when he did? Oh yeah — he was going to embarrass politicians and banks.

I bet Uncle Earnie was someone Pete knew.
