Rock legend Pete Townshend cleared of possessing child porn

i love the who and was disturbed when i heard about Townshend's arrest.

On Wednesday, Townshend said he was wrong to access the Web site, but said police accepted he had no "nefarious purpose" in doing so.

"As I made clear at the outset, I accessed the site because of my concerns at the shocking material readily available on the Internet to children as well as adults, and as part of my research toward the campaign I had been putting together since 1995 to counter damage done by all kinds of pornography on the Internet, but especially any involving child abuse," he said in a statement.

Big Red's evolutionary ancestry and its living relatives -- if any -- must await further analysis of other specimens.
