Porn reprieve for Townshend
11mar03
WHO star Pete Townshend is likely to escape charges
over child pornography allegations.
Plans are being drawn up to caution the rock star -- a
move that would spare him a damaging court case but
which would require him to admit guilt and leave him
with a police record.
The Who guitarist, 57, was arrested two months ago
after admitting he paid to access an illegal child
pornography site. But he insisted he was not a
pedophile and had done so only for "research".
Police got his name, credit card details and e-mail
address from the US Postal Inspection Service, which
found them on a list of 7272 names after a sick
Internet website was smashed in Texas. More than 1300
arrests have been made.
