Firstly, I've got to say that I've seen and heard some stupid things in my time, but reading some of your responses does nothing but reinforce the idea that the world is populated by some very, very stupid people and with few exceptions.
It's one thing to "go with your feelings" but quite another to ignore facts and basic, fundamental god honest truth.
Chris Langham is guilty of CURIOSITY and nothing more. He did a stupid thing and that's the truth, but if he's going to be vilified for his stupid act then I can immediately think of at least a thousand people who deserve to go to jail for stupidity too. Having read through the crown prosecution service reports, it is pretty evident that the police and various other unscrupulous individuals tried very hard to make it about more than curiosity, even going as far as to break the law in an attempt to do that. I am far, far more worried about the state of your criminal justice system than I am about Chris Langham.
Lets dispense with the sort of ridiculous heart-wrenching and garment-tearing that some hormone obsessed females (and some less than intelligent males) have taken it upon themselves to practice here on these forums and look at the facts as they are (by the way, I should point out that if you have a problem regulating your emotions, you're probably more of a risk to a childs mental welfare than Chris Langham is).
Chris Langham looked at some pictures. Not very nice pictures we're told, but images nonetheless.
He did NOT abuse those individuals. He cannot even be blamed for encouraging them because the practise of sleeping with minors has existed long before the practise of recording the act and the TRUTH is that Chris Langham did NOT pay for the images he looked at. He in fact paid for entry to a website that sold LEGAL images of adult-aged individuals.
So a celebrity was jailed for looking at images. Why? Because the British Police don't have the abilities or the incentive to go after the people who actually committed these acts. No, instead they much prefer to go after "soft" targets, assisted by the ever over-emotional individuals involved with child protection. Child protection is a good thing, but the individuals involved with it tend to very easily lose perspective in their never ending search to justify their jobs, their funding and their obsession with creating a world in which children don't experience life, but are shielded from it.
The sad fact is that the British are recruiting completely the wrong sort of police officer in the first place. If you want bleeding heart types who are "socially aware" then what you get is idiot police officers who are little more than messengers. If you want investigators and police who will actually catch the perverts who DID commit these crimes then you have to stop with the needy socialist crap.
Get some perspective people. As regards the "female" on here (Charley? isn't that a dudes name?) who has "said her piece" and "wont be watching Chris Langham on T.V again", oh dear. What a shame. I'm sure he'll be devastated. Idiot.
He - like me - probably couldn't care less what you choose to do because - and here's the shocker - you're not important. You may FEEL you're important but you p*ssed away several minutes of your time to ensure everyone KNOWS what you're not going to do just to make a negative comment about someone you don't know, about a crime which is - fundamentally - merely human nature (curiosity is older than the telephone ya know). Society may have told you that your feelings and point of view are important but they aren't really. Take it from me.
Grow up, get some perspective and motivate your police authorities to get off their lazy backsides and actually do the job that you pay them for, not make new laws and create more criminals at the receiving end of a crime but the actual original criminals themselves. Most of all, wake up and realise that the minute you criminalised sight and vision, you cooked your goose. Oh, and Chris Langham is a funny guy, whatever he chooses to watch in his personal time and space. I - unlike you "Charley" - will continue to support him because I enjoy what he does. Good for me, bad for you.
WhoAaaaaaaaa!
You enjoy what he does 
Look my little friend from accross the pond. My feelings & point of view are important. Even if only to me. How dare you go on about our British Police Force when your army can not even aim & fire correctly.
Secondly, should I wish to not watch someone based on the fact they have looked at child porn, that is my right.
Thirdly you say that the world is populated by some very stupid people.
I agree with that.
PS Mr Winky! (Is that not a pricks name)
