This is a rehash of the Evening Standard article, but it's dated Sunday.  
Sounds pretty good, eh?

Pete Townshend may be alright

Who frontman to be 'given a caution' on child porn charges, may not have 
been implicated in actual malfeasance

Dateline: Sunday, April 20, 2003

Evening Standard, March 10

Rock star Pete Townshend will not be prosecuted for possessing child 
pornography, it was reported today.

The Who guitarist, 57, is expected to get a formal police caution, after 
insisting he accessed a child porn website as part of a research project 
into the horrors of the paedophile trade.

Sources say the decision came after detailed examinations of computers 
seized during a raid at his Richmond home.

Insiders say it now appears "highly unlikely" he will face a court 
appearance. Townshend's credit-card details had appeared among 7,272 names 
handed to police by the US Postal Inspection Service.

The charges he had faced - of possessing, making and incitement to 
distribute indecent images of children - could have led to up to five years 
in jail.
