Arrested for child porn...

Article isn't clear...was he just "checking it out" or did he have a big ole stack of it?

Sad

He claims to be checking it out. it should be noted that he's well known for his stance on child porn - very much against it. he thinks he was sexually abused as a child and he wanted to see just what the pervos offer, to understand it better.

Or so he claims.

Credit card info for folks who paid for porn, released from someone in Texas.

If he is so against child porn, why would he support the system of supply and demand by giving them money?

Sounds like a lame assed excuse from a paederast.

Research! (according to him) Unrelated...but isn't he guitarist that "came out of the closet" a few years ago?

"(AP) - Rock star Pete Townshend of The Who has been arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children, police said Monday. Scotland Yard announced that a 57-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of making and possessing indecent images of children and of incitement to distribute indecent images of children. Police, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the suspect was Townshend."

Sounds like he was doing more than a bit of research, oh well, innocent until proven guilty.

That is sad, if true. I really respected him as a musician and even as a voice about the industry and its history.

Yea...its one thing to stumble upon a picture that is like whoa...too young, delete delete delete...one of the work machines got a disturbing SPAM for "russian lolitas" or some thing with a picture of a naked kid..looked about 12 or so. But if one subscribes to a porn site that specializes in the stuff...that's a bit tougher to defend

i don't think so rip- did he? i remember watching a 'rock-umentary' on queen or freddy mercury or something and they interviewed the who and they all seemed to be baggin' prettty hard on queen for being gay.

they asked entwhistle or townsend what they thought of the bassist from queen, they said right on the interview that they thought he was 'light on his loafers'. it was a riot, i don't think he's gay- maybe you're thinking of the singer from judas priest-

if he is being accused of 'making' porn, they probably have some good evidence - too bad, i liked that guy.

Ah, just answered my own question with a google search:

Yep, he's the one.

I spent the whole day thinking Pete Townsend was someone else and was pretty bumbed about it. About 3 O'Clock I realized "Pete played for the Who... he's not who I was thinking of".... I was thinking he was Eric Clapton. I wasn't taking that well at all.
