You are Very Wrong.
He is on the Sex Offenders List
he should have not have gone on National TV,
And the team that was mean't to check him
failed - they Must be Sacked.
If Endemol ( Who also make over 70% of BBC shows)
can check everyone
so can Cowells team.

| LTNS ... like it or not, even sex offenders have talent, can perform, write, sing and dance ... But that is not the point so much really. Here you have a police officer who phones up a show to 'inform'. Don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that as the informed upon happens to be a 'sex-offender' - that nice emotive category - that most people will agree with the officer's actions. Me ... I look at the principle of 'informing'. |

What Principle is that?
He choose to go on National TV
no one pushed him onto National TV.

Your Morals are all wrong Miriam.

| The issue isn't whether or not the victims are important, the issue is whether or not a police officer is acting appropriately phoning a production company. Note it is not the police force that phoned but a police officer. I wonder what the response would have bene had this been a member of the public who did not have the professional standing of a 'police officer'. |

I wonder what the response would have been if he'd won the competition, gained fame & fortune, struck again and possibly ruined another youngsters life & the policeman later admitted he knew of his past but elected to say nothing.
I say 'give the cop a medal'. |

Check the Link Duke.
Really? Oh, you mean those kids that got abused so that Pete could pay to see the images aren't victims then. |

There is no way I support this pervert but try this a train of thought.
Others have committed crimes and gone on to be celebs.
Leslie Grantam, murder, if I am correct.
If people have served their punishment then should they not be free to pursue a career?
It could be said that the punishment is too soft and his life should have be taken or he should be locked up for ever.
I know what I would do with perverts who prey on kids! |
We're all doomed!
Head for the hills before they start heading for you! |

Not the same Crime.
If it was the same crime he would be out of that band

so go back to your very confused Morals.

He did not tell the TV Company
he was on the list.
The Policeman that phoned in
was trying to protect the victim. |

Huh? Are you saying that because he only looked at images of children being abused that no one was hurt?

It has everything to do with this. Pete Townshend works in the entertainment business and he was convicted of child pornography offences. If you can't see any similarity I'd suggest that you are the one who's confused. Why not settle down and relax with a nice cup of 75p great value Greggs tea |

Again my morals ... Pete Townshend did or did not view pay-per-view child pornography? He did? Then he is colluding with those that exploited those poor victims. The Who depend on Pete Townshend as a guitarist. They are therefore not going to kick him out of the band as that might mean they get fewer fans, They are therefore colluding with a pervert that colludes with the exploiters of sexual abuse child victims.

What victim was that policeman trying to protect? Was the programme going to engage in the sexual exploitation of minors? |

Yes and everyone knows about his Crime.
But the criminal on ITV did not tell anyone.
The Who
are a big band
you can not compare them with a Performing nobody. |

Oh, I see ... so according to you provided you are not a nobody then its alright to be on the sex offenders list and still be billed. It is only if you are a nobody that you should be booted off a second rate talent show. |

The 14 year old lad from this link.
FACT.
Was that 14 year old on the show?
No, he was not ... that 14 year old is now a 17+ year old and I would hazard a guess that he has long gotten over having his feet tickled! |

If that Guitar player did he would have

At least anyone who goes to that Band
can find out about the members,
Unlike the Error of this TV company. |

LT he's not required to tell a prospective employer, but he is expected to inform the police if his job will bring him into contact with children or minors, I think you will find out he had, just one lone policeman with an axe to grind or a story to sell the tabloids me thinks.....
ASSAULTING A 14 YEAR OLD BOY
." Bates was in court three years ago in the Manchester area for tickling the youngster's feet".
Is this the best the tabloids can do!
