'The Reedys were convicted on child pornography charges in 2001'

Does anyone know when in 2001? There may be a correlation between the time they were busted, their trial, and conviction with the time Townshend posted his 'A Different Bomb' on his web site.

[colorado tanker]

Townsend is just one of many Brits who subscribed. There was a mass arrest in Britain before the holidays - even one policeman was a subscriber. Looks like they took their time and moved very carefully on Townsend.

[SamAdams76]

Mr. Townshend admits he visited a web site advertising child porn, but he said it was for research on an upcoming autobiography. Mr. Townshend said he was abused as a child said he has campaigned against child pornography.

That is such a bogus excuse. Even if he is truthful about being abused a a child, how could viewing child porn possibly assist one in either healing old wounds or writing an autobiography? It just doesn't make sense.

Even if Pete Townshend did have a bad childhood, he of all people, should be over it. I mean, he's had a wonderful life since childhood being a rich and famous rock star. Millions of people would have gladly traded places with him.

[gundog]

Poor Pete; over 1300 arrests, including 50 cops, some judges, Members of Parliament, other celebs, and he gets dragged through the global mud.

I really don't understand the research part. If I ever saw child porn, I would cry. This is just something that should never happen.
