  • Pete Townshend admits downloading child porn



    He says it was research. Whether it was or not, it's a crime and my guess is that he may end up doing time.

    Yes.. I download (legal!) porn for research purposes as well
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

      The Who star said he had never entered chat rooms on the internet to converse with children.
      alright that may be so but what has that got to with him watching pron sites..


      it's like asking someone who drove 20km/h too fast if that person has driven over a pedestrian or so...


      I wouldn't want to see one of the great who boys in jail though!!!

        Maybe he won't get fooled again.

          Let him be. As long as he didn't physically hurt a child, I don't think it is an evil action. Same thing with bestiality.

          Neither are my cup of tea of course. I just get tired of the reflexive buttlock.

              He said he had been shocked and angry about the explosion of advertised paedophilic images on the internet
              Yes, I'm shocked and angry there is gambling going on here, now cut the damn deck and deal! Maybe he finds being shocked and angered...umm...stimulating... Yeah, that's the ticket, he was doing research on what it's like to be shocked and angry and could find no other way to shock and anger himself.

                jeez. I like the who a lot. Now I don't know what to think. Well I still like the music I guess. Can't say much for the members of the band.

                  I can't agree. When systematic abuse and torture of children becomes a profitable industry, those buying the products are just helping propagate evil.

                    Question though:
                    There are many groups out there that monitor internet child pornography. How is it that they can acquire their "research" materials legally, whereas Townshend, who appears to be an outspoken critic of child exploitation, cannot acquire said "research" materials?

                      Probably the same way labs can handle toxic chemicals and dangerous organisms, yet a bunch of guys living in a flat are not able to.

                          If the guy apparently found his way to a child-porn site so easily, how come that site even existed anymore?
                          Or do they all have google-ads these days too?

                            Hang him from the towers of the vatican along w/ all those child molesting priests.

                            I wonder if it was a pay site. If it was he was definately contributing to the whole sick business.

                              It was a pay-site. The police traced him by his credit card number.
