Child porn/prostitution
 

Today 14th of jan 2003 i was seated here and watching cnn when BOOM!!.. came the news that i thoughti'do never hear from abroad.Some musician (legendary guitarist) Pete Townshend was allegedly bail out on charges of being in possesion with chid porn. Then i went to the site (cnn) and guese what? theres some other guy who calls himsel Gary Glitter who is serving four months for being in possesion with child porn.

The one million dollar question is,

Does child porn exist in your area?

I'm 26y/o and have never seen such stuff.

have a holy day

Gary Glitter~ he only wrote one memorable thing......Rock and Roll Anthem, I think (played at every sporting event in the US)

Child porn exists everywhere there are children........

I wanna know if any one believes Pete's story..........he was lookin' it up for research about abuse for his biography:rolleyes:??????????????????????

i god dam hope its tru what he says i aint a big fan but he his a god dam good guitar player. What was weird was a lot of people going to these sites had something to do with children in there Profession......

Glitter was bloody huge in the UK and is now being bounced from one far east country that don't want him to another.

Pete's excuse is crappy though he has done anti-paedophile / child porn stuff in the past so who knows

Do you think it's a case of "me thinks he doth protest too much"? and that he was just trying to deflect attention?

There were also judges, politicians, CEO's and 50 police officers that have been arrested in Britian due to this child porn raid. 1,300. have been arrested so far!!

Like Lilth said..Child porn is all over the place! And somehow...it's gotta stop!!

As for Pete Townsend...whether it was for his auto-biography or not...If he was in possesion of child porn then he should be charged.


Now..if you are a voyeur of child porn..you are one sick person. Seek Help now. Looking at porn of adults is fine..you are an adult. But looking at children...OMG...that is just sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could well be, would have been easier/safer to go to anti child porn campaigners/charities or the police for help rather than pay to enter a site, unless he has something to hide.

Must agree with LoveDiva, he was in possession, therefore should be charged...and that goes for any other person who might normally be seen as "above the law," like the judges and police officers she mentioned who have been busted. Townsend COULD very well have had it for this autobiographical research~but he should have gone the legal route to visting with reseachers/psychologists or the anti-Kiddie Porn crusaders who I'm sure could have supplied him with more information than one really wants to know. I don't know if the reports of him being involved in the crusade against it are true, but if so he definitely should have known better!!

All I know is that when I find out for sure, I have a whole lot of Who albums I am going to burn.

Correction Lilith, I believe it is Rock and Roll Anthem Pt. 2 :p ;) :p

Has anyone heard they actually found it on Pete's computer? He said he used his credit card to go into a pay site that advertised child porn, but I had not heard that he had files on his computer. I've seen ad's for these kind of sites before and I always wonder if they really have what they advertise there, but I'm not about to put in my card # just to find out. I can somewhat buy in to the defense of 'To battle the enemy, you must know the enemy.' But why research it alone like that? All we can do is watch the story unfold...

I heard he was charged with posession and making it on CNN last night but they did not go into what they meant by "making"

Aqua~ correct as usual TnA

I live in the state of Qld where they have just let a known pedophile out of prison and back into the community....well needless to say the public are pissed off and appalled that this monster is free....he will do it again...the media showed his face on TV..so that when he settled somewhere ppl could be aware of what he is.

Beware all who use Yahoo too....I had a mother and father trying to send me naked pictures of their 14 &16 yr old daughters...whom they both sleep with i might add...i was horrified...i gave there ID to Yahoo to chase them up

It is everywhere...all over the world...

Here is a CNN report about it all..............

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/intern...surf/index.html

I heard of that one on the radio recently (I'm in the Northern Territory). Apparently this guy didn't show up at the police station in the area he was moving into. There are rules in place now that every time a known pedophile moves house they must notify their move with the local police. Its something but not enough in my opinion.

I don't believe that Pete Townsend is a paedophile. People like Gary Glitter, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis were all known for liking young teenagers. Lewis married a thirteen year old- didn't he? Townsend was a victim of child abuse and wrote the Rock Opera Tommy about his abuse. I can understand his obsession with the subject but he was dumb to pay to see some.

I read the CNN article and some of the implications are a little scary. For example what about these pop-ups and misleading sites or links that turn out to be something else?

What if a minor (and the definition varies all over) posts a pic here and men or women members enjoy looking at it - are they/we paedophiles?
