One of the biggest heroes in the fight against international child pornography, Operation Ore, has caught yet another celebrity by tracing the credit card numbers used to purchase online images of child sexual abuse.
British actor and comedian, Chris Langham, most noted for his roles in Monty Python's Life of Brian, The Return of the Pink Panther, and ironically multiple episodes of The Muppet Show, has been "sentenced to ten months in jail for downloading 'horrifying' child pornography."
Operation Ore has already cited musicians Gary Glitter and Pete Townsend (of The Who) for accessing similar illegal sites. Gary Glitter is in prison in Vietnam until August 2008 for the sexual abuse of children. Pete Townsend was "entered on the Violent and Sex Offender List for 5 years."
Both Townsend and Langham claimed that they were doing research on the illegal sites. Langham claimed that he was molested as a child. After he was convicted, a woman accused him of having a sexual relationship with her from the time she was 14. Langham admitted to having relations with her when she was 18. Langham is married with two children of his own.
