Pete Townshend to be 'given a caution' 
10 March 2003 
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.
