I knew he'd get off on the charge of having sex with the girl.
That's ruined her life.

IF he did have sex with her.
I guess the only 2 people who will ever really know that are Chris Langham and the girl herself.

I'm so sure she went to all that trouble just for the hell of it, Ming.

I truly hope to see people who download child porn serve time in jail.

Just been announced on BBC news, too.

after all, he clearly has no interest in children having sex, does he?

It's all just 'research'.

And as for his grooming the girl, he was 'teaching her to breath'.

The man is scum. And i didn't believe for a second his excuses about 'doing research' and 'trying to make sense of his own abuse'.
Didn't a certain Who guitarist (?) use exactly the same excuses?

He also blamed his actions on alcoholism.

On anything but himself and his disgusting needs.

The minute the defence started going on about her eating disorders I know he would escape that charge. Make her out to be mad - always works. I mean, you wouldn't end up with an eating disorder as a result of being sexually abused, would you?

I tried to stay open minded about this but when Paul Witehouse gave evidence and said they had not discussed any research it changed my mind. If he was genuinely researching a role I think it is not unreasonable to mention it, and tbh looking at those pictures for any reason and not being sick to your stomach and wondering what the hell you were thinking is just weird.

If you look at it you look at it and that makes you guilty, I cant imagine what would possess someone who wasnt into child porn to want to see it, it would haunt me if i had to view it.

foul , foul man

sad he has gone on to perpetuate the cycle of abuse, he has suffered too..but not taken steps to address it in a usual way..counselling, perhaps, rather than having sex with a young girl and downloading porn

He says he's not a paedo, though.

Just your average person who has sex with children and downloads child pornography.

And he looked at the pictures several times. For 'research'.

What KezzaG said, I really really didn't want this to be true and tried to stay open minded but when Paul Whitehouse testified I knew he was guilty.

Grim. He clearly thought he would get away with it.

Poor girl.

Lulumama, that's if he actually was abused himself. i reckon he made it up so the jury would go easier on him.

He had the nerve to call his accuser 'sick'.

But he's not, of course.

And he admitted he would have looked at and downloaded more had he not been stopped. He even paid for it, ffs. Paid people to rape children
I feel so sorry for the jurors who had to watch the stuff he downloaded. It made several of them cry, and one walked out. The judge then said that even though they hadn't seen the worst clips, he couldn't make them watch any more.

there are no excuses
his behaviour is repellant as is his refusal to take any responsibility for his actions
i feel very sorry for his family and that poor young girl

Paul Whitehouse was clearly so disgusted by him - I'm pleased to say.

I dread doing jury duty in case I get a case like this. No way could I watch those clips, even on the orders of a judge.

Hope he falls literally onto his arse now. How on earth he can expect normal 'decent' people to swallow his 'research' line is beyond me.

I actually thought he was a talented man - what a bloody waste.

hope his poor victim finds someway of moving on in her life.

I think he is a talented actor. But it's what else he is that will define him from now on.

terrible. Reminds me of this

His refusal to take responsibility for his actions and show remorse is actually quite sadly typical of paedos - who are highly intelligent, manipulative, sociopathic liars.
