LANGHAM FOUND GUILTY OF CHILD PORN CHARGES, CLEARED OF INDECENT ASSAULT
LATEST: British comedy star CHRIS LANGHAM has been convicted on 15 child pornography charges, after a jury rejected his claims the images were simply for research.
Langham was found guilty of all charges of making indecent images of a child, following the police discovery of explicit films on his home computer.
The 58-year-old had pleaded not guilty to the charges and has maintained the indecent images and footage were downloaded from the internet as research for BBC TV drama Help.
But the jury at Maidstone Crown Court in England threw out his claims on Thursday (02Aug07) and delivered a guilty verdict.
However, Langham was acquitted on six counts of indecent assault on a girl under 18, who had accused the actor of taking her virginity when she was just 14-years-old.
After reading out the verdict, Judge Philip Statman remanded Langham in custody. He will be sentenced on 14 September (07). (MT/WNWCLME&WNWCSK/IG) WENN - BREAKING NEWS - 02 AUGUST 2007 ———————————————————————-
