I think that he was actually found guilty of downloading, rather than making, indecent images? In the end, it makes no difference. He's a paedophile and the are no scales on that. It's wrong - end of story. What I don't understand is that he denied all charges all the way through his trial, but also said that he had an abusive childhood. So, he's denying he committed the crime and trying to explain it away at the same time?! Since he's been remanded and he's well known AND he's been found guilty of these charges - I don't expect he'll have an easy time in prison. Nor does he deserve to have an easy time. I don't believe there are 'degrees' of evil - evil is evil - end of story. Research???? How stupid do he and his defence team think we all are?
As for the girl who was his victim when she was 14? God Bless her - that charge was dismissed and that will break her and her parents' hearts. I just pray that she gets some strength from knowing that her abuser/rapist was at least punished for some of his crimes.

I didn't know what 'indecent images' meant but the BBC said he was found guilty of downloading pictures of children.
Apart from that I'm glad he's been found guilty. Very few things are beyond the pale but, that is and he did it.
He said the pictures made him feel like he was putting his face in a chainsaw (or something) so, why did he download them. Sick Ba$tard.

haven't actually seen the news yet. Frightening though if you are right as you never can tell what people are thinking and who does what behind close doors. No one is beyond the law and what happened in his childhood is no excuse. I feel really sorry for his family though and it's a shame as i thought he was a good actor. He should be thoroughly ashamed as his actions only increase the demand on the net for this awful trade. If its true they should throw the book at him.

I believe him, actually. I think he probably has so many issues -Christ, look at his series, Help! if that wasn't written by someone who's done his time on the shrink's couch, what is - that looking at child pornography is just the next in a whole line of self-destructive behaviour. I think he probably was doing research and if he was abused as a child, he probably looked at it with feelings of revulsion as well as curiosity. I feel deeply sorry for him and I think that whatever bad he's done (supporting a despicable industry by downloading the image) he's paid for by the appalling treatment meeted out to him by the plods.
Of course, the Daily Mail readers among us see child, no, sorry, "kiddie (that's so much more emotive) porn" and start screaming the place down. It's so much easier to start talking about Ian Huntly, chemical castration, and chainsaws than to think rationally about a complex person.

If he is found guilty, he is a sick man and I hope he gets the help he clearly needs to prevent any repeats of this and the abuse that he perpetuated by looking at the images in this first place

Whether they want to be approached, or left alone is usually the difference between approachable and not approachable. Anybody could be approached in a hypothetical situation, not all situations are hypothetical though. Most people pick up on when somebody wants to be left alone, and when they feel like approaching people, they usually let people know by approaching people.

Claimed it was for research! How can viewing a child's suffering be put down as "research"? He is a sick bloke - i hope the punishment fits the crime.
The only people researching these kind of sites should be the police.

A custodial sentence will be in order. I hope the courts are aware of the growing discontentment the country feels about 'celebs' getting away with things and put him away.

That is not true - he has been found guilty of downloading pornographic images of children.
My thoughts is its the correct verdict - he admitted as much

Sick minded individuals come in all shapes, sizes and sexes.
Being even mildly famous does not mean your are exempt from the threat of perversion.
