In their investigation of the matter, the Crown was satisfied that he was not.

In a related story, Michael Jackson has been cleared of pedophilia charges not once, but TWICE. I suppose that makes him less guilty than Townshend.

BTW, Pete was involved in a second incident a couple of years later. The details escape me at the moment.

Jacko was not cleared of any charges. He was found not guilty by a jury.

Big difference.

He was not "cleared." He was prosecuted, but was not convicted.

In Townshend's case the prosecutors themselves agree that there was no case.

Jackson's prosecutors tell a far different story.
