PORN FOUND ON ‘LANGHAM’S COMPUTER’
LATEST: A laptop taken from the home of British comedy star CHRIS LANGHAM contained graphic child porn images, jurors have been told at his trial.
A 25-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims she had a sexual relationship with The Thick Of It star, now 58, when she was 14.
Langham is also accused of making indecent photographs of a child between September and November 2005. Christopher Crute, a forensic computer analyst for Kent Police, told Maidstone Crown Court in England, some of the files found on the computer had "pre-teen hardcore" content. Crute told the jury on Monday (23Jul07) the file names on the laptop made reference to children as young as seven, while some included the words Lolita, incest and rape. The police expert said he found log-in details on Langham’s computer for an explicit website, with a subscription cost of £29.95 ($59.90).
But Langham’s defence counsel, David Whitehouse Q, claims the pornography was downloaded as research for a TV show. Mr Crute said he found scripts for the programme among the actor’s computer folders. Langham is charged with 10 counts of indecent assault on the girl, as well as 15 counts of making indecent images of a child.
The trial continues.
