You are wrong. He had no child porn on his computer, never downloaded a single image, and Scotland Yard apologized for the false impression their arrest of him created.

Imagine that...a famous celebrity being apologized to by the establishment after being caught red handed.

I bet you think Michael Jackson just liked being around children, right?

“The rock star Pete Townshend was yesterday cautioned by police and placed on the sex offenders register for five years following his admission that he accessed child pornography on the internet.

He was arrested in January as part of Operation Ore, the largest investigation into child pornography in the UK. He admitted using his credit card to access images but claimed they were for “research” for a book.”

Did Scotland Yard apologize for making the celebrity confess to the crime?

It is amazing to me that we’re having this conversation. What hold does pop culture have on your minds?

I thought he was researching child abuse for his bio. He says he was abused as a kid.
