Peter Townshend

he wasn't convicted iirc

I was just researching this today: Paul Reubens was busted a while after that for posessing, in his large collection of vintage erotica, some images that some prosecutor in LA thought qualified as kiddie porn. The latest updates I found were at the beginning of the year; I'm guessing the case is still pending or there would have been some word as to its conclusion. It really deserves its own thread, but this has me disgusted. One DA examined the entire enormous lot of vintage physique magazines, and found nothing; the police then turned it over to another DA who found a few images among tens of thousands that might be of young men under 18; this happened a day before the statute of limitations on the case was to run out. I've seen magazines like this, and they're pretty innocent, not to mentiont the fact that Reubens bought them in bulk and in all likelihood couldn't have known the complete contents of the collection... this really smacks of someone with a hardon for ruining Reuben's life and career. Anyway, I'm curious to see a follow-up. Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing that people are so horrified by, that even if you're found innocent, to have your name mentioned in the same breath with it is pretty much the kiss of death.
