d'you think he's guilty?

[Testin da Cable]

pete townsend tries to take on kiddypronographers, yet the bad police take him down good pic though [of him, bitches ] what do you think?

 

[S-Gray]

Well i suppose anyone who goes to them sites firstly should be shot (If they purposly go)... but for him to actually pay to "Research" this stuff is so not right.

He should be exiled like Glitter was, after all, he has only done the same pretty much as him.

 

[dysfunction]

I dont think viewing kiddie porn should be done at all....its just plain sick!!



But...
If this was really for research I think he should surely obtain proper authorization from police and other government agencies and should be properly supervised as well.....


Send him to the Guillotine!!!

 

[PR.]

He is guilty.

If you want to research the topic you ring the police and obtain information from them you don't do and register for a site.

IE. If you want to research rape for a book you don't go rape someone, you find victims and ask them if they are willing to talk about their experience.

Put him away, lock him up, if only to save us from any more of his stupidity.

PR - The Police, The Prosecution, The Judge, The Jury

 

[dysfunction]

What about the executioner? Are you not that as well then???

If not I'll take the job...

 

[Ono]

Guilty. Castrate him.

 

[Dimebag]

Don't know all the facts, has been said that he can prove he has been doing research into this sort of thing.

The way he did it wasnt acceptable though by the sounds of it.

I'd have to know the full story to make any sort of judgement, and all I know is what the media knows, which I do not trust.

To be honest I couldnt really care.

Dime

 

[Shocko]

Research - The excuse of botters everywhere

Allthough he claims he'd informed the police that he'd be visiting such websites, so perhaps he's telling the truth? In future he'd be better off sticking to usenet and alt.binaries

 

[caLLous]

I read somewhere (news.bbc.co.uk I think) that the "police searching his house and impounding his computer etc" was a mutual agreement, so this would either be some extreme confidence, or he has nothing to hide.

But as Dime said, no one knows enough to make any judgement.

 

[Trem]

I don't believe he's guilty of being a paedophile, he was abused himself when he was younger. Obviously he's guilty of looking at this site but he openly admits this anyway.

 

[granny]

I seriously doubt he's a danger to anyone's kids. And that's the important thing right?

This is all just more of the same media hysteria over child porn, it sickens me to be honest.

Remember the tatu thread? I seem to remember a pic in there of them on stage displaying rather a lot of nipplage... and they're 17... child porn guys. Eh?

 

[RandomIce]

He is guilty, he admitted it, whatever purpose he did it for he broke the law by looking at kiddie porn, wether hes a danger to peoples kids is another matter, but he still broke the law, if he's telling the truth maybe he'll get off lighter than he otherwise would but he still broke the law.

I think it's all shite. This isn't news, it doesn't affect the people.. it's simply tabloid bullshit and tbh, it makes me sick that it's front page news, and not just on shitty papers like the sun too.

To a certain extent I agree that it is all sensationalised to sell papers, and they might be better off focusing on the fact that 7000 other people in the uk are going to be/have been nicked as part of this same operation, rather than on the odd celebrity or policeman involved.

BTW because of the controversy and publicity of this, Pete Townshend will have known it wasn't going to be long before the police came a knocking, so he had plenty of time to get rid of as much evidence as he could and concoct a ridiculous cover story.

I just think it's good of the Americans to supply us with this list of kiddie porn credit card holders. It's practically giving us a conviction on a plate.

 

[Mr. 47]

getting rid of evidence on a computer isn't all that easy...

you need to go the a really low level* and tinker, most OSs wont let you muck about with important things like the system files. Mainly cos there used most of the time the computer is used.

also, did he not try a search with the word "free" in there somewhere??? that would make tracking alot harder and he wouldn't supporting kiddie porn sites buy paying.

*hammer + HD

 

[Shocko]

Get magnet, get hard drive... Sorted

 

[Mellow-]

Of course he's guilty, he's a dirty old man. Chop his hands and penis off.

 

[Sawtooth]

Not sure how viewing Child pornography helps him write an autobiography to be honest.

He probably realises he's fucked.

I don't believe he's innocent, claiming it was for "research purposes" is a tissue-thin excuse.

That said, I'm not going to form any kind of opinion of him until those in the know (ie. courts, etc) and not the mass media pass judgement.

 

[Embattle]

He is stupid either way since in todays climate doing such research should be done in a way that would include consultation with the various child groups.

 

[Wij]

He claims to have informed the police before viewing the site. If true he's probably not a kiddie-fiddler. Who knows... ?

16 is legal where I and they come from my friend, it's perfectly legal for me to publish said photos and then masturbate furiously.

Huzzah for common sense!

 

[nath]

you're allowed to fuck them at 16, you're allowed to take saucy photos at 18.

 

[danger]

Are ya sure Nath?... I thought scoobs was right!

 

[nath]

I'm fairly certain. "All our models are 18 or over" (even on uk sites)

I've never ever seen a site with 16 yr olds doing naughty things. And I'm a veteran of porn :/

 

[danger]

lol fairplay... *encrypts his tatu pr0n collection*

 

[prime1]

I dont know wether hes guilty or not, I'l wait and see (provided I even care at the time the judgement is made). However he is a campaigner against this sort of things, he must have known that the police locate the people who use these sites, through credit cards and the like, I cant beleive he could be so stupid as to then go and do it, without thinking that because he wasnt doing it for kicks, but for research or whatever he would be OK.
