On kiddie-porn charges. Here is the link.

I guess that Wicked Uncle Ernie is having a laugh.

Yikes. Bummer if he ends up guilty. He can join the likes of Paul Reubens and that guy who played the principal in "Ferris Bueler."

P.S. Hah! LOL. Right as I click "send reply" for this, that "Oooooh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueler comes over IW radio!

Uh, before anyone gets themselves all worked up, the evidence isn't exactly overwhelming. If he really is a paedophile he's bound to be exposed, but so far it looks to me he might have had legitimate reasons for researching into the subject. Maybe reading the article could help...?

I agree, Mel. Notice I said "if" he's found guilty.

I know ;) Didn't mean to imply I was talking about anyone in particular. Just a general observation that I don't think we should draw our conclusions just yet.

Well, the police doesn't arrest anyone if they just have a hunch. I also heard he visited sites like this before. Downloading childporn ? Come on.....

Ah, I see Mel. Sorry. I was jumping to conclusions about somebody who, I thought, was jumping to conclusions... and you weren't. My bad.

Have you actually read the article? He's already admitted he visited a child porn site ONCE to research for the book he's writing, and he cooperated with the police FULLY. I'm not saying I believe he's innocent, but I definitely think assuming his guilt without thought is short-sighted.

Here are some more articles:

Townshend's Media Statement

ANANOVA article

I think on the info given, you cannot draw any conclusions either way.

Actually, you were jumping to conclusions about me jumping to conclusions about people who jump to conclusions. ;)

Yeah, i read the article, but i also heard on the radio that this isn't the first time, so that means that Townsend might be lying. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
