Gigwise reports: Pete Townshend has removed a self penned story from his own website after complaints from children’s charities.

The story entitled ‘The Comedian’ told of a fictional sexual encounter between two sixteen year olds as was blasted by one charity as “just a form of titillation".

Speaking about the story Kidscape director Michele Elliot told the BBC: "It's just a form of titillation. Responsible adults should not put graphic details of teenagers having sex on the web."[

    what a fucking worthless post, so what, he wrote about 2 kids having sex at 16. The honest to God truth is that is when kids are starting to have sex. If he would have wrote this about 12 year olds, whatever, but come on. The last thing Pete is is a pedophile. Get rid of this shit of a post

    Actually, it's a very, very stupid thing to have done. He's already on the offenders register over here due to his "research" a couple years ago. I love The Who and think Townshend is brilliant musically, but he's obviously a nutter.

    exactly. it's like michael jackson continuing to have kids sleep in his house after a series of pedophilia accusations. whether or not they're true, why press your luck?

    In my country 16 year olds are regarded as adults. In my country, you can have sex before you can drive a car. In my country, you can have sex before you can buy a gun. Now I've said this it'll probably turn out to be some English people getting hysterical about it after all!;)

    i believe Townshend to be innocent. I mean the has been doing work for children's charites for so long that it's kinda unbelieveable to think he's into child porn. WEAK ASS thread title by the way

    Exactly, whether or not he is a paedophile or not, it is clear that he is fucking stupid.

    You would have thought he'd learned his lesson.

    Apparently no one has read any of his lyrics over the past 45 years. What would people say if he released Pictures of Lily today?

    Not to get too graphic but surely one should know that Pictures of Lilly is about self pleasure.

    I take it that " Fiddle about" relates to Pete's our experience.
    The fact that he posted on his site beforehand proves and what I firmly believe that pete is innocent

    Exactly. Pete Townshend is famous because of his ability of articulate the confusions of adolesence. Without his enormous screw up four years ago this would be more of what he's been doing his entire career.

    i believe townsend's arrogant enough not to see what the fuss is all about until it's pointed out to him. the silly git.

    i'm not seeing an issue here. 16 is the age of consent in england (as it happens to be in new england), and that's reasonable to me. i'm sure 16 year olds in england are very much more mature than the person who started this thread.

    think kenny. townsend is how old? he's got caught before looking at kiddie porn or whatever and tried to pass it of as research or something. now he's got a sexual rant about two 16 year old kids on his site. it's more a matter of propriety, don't you think?

    They siezed his computer and checked out all the sites he had looked at right?


    And they concluded that he had looked at a substantial enough amount of child porn to get him i na little troulbe, right?


    anyone who believes that pete wasn't enjoying his internet services and high resolution monitor in inaapropriate ways is pretty crazy if you ask me

    Keep you beliefs to yourself and stop trying to push them on other people. It's so fucking pathetic to slag someone off that you don't know the slightest thing about. Maybe if you were his friend you might then know what kind of person he is and be able to make an oppinion for youself instead of listening to all the bullshit in the press(cause they only print the truth, yeah right) and trying to fuck up someones career.
    For christ sake just let it be.

    thats not a fact at all... he signed into a porn site using his credit card... yes its a stupid thing to do... to see how bad it actually was... he then phoned a lawyer to discuss what he could and should do to stop the website operating!

    he didnt have images stored on his computer and thusly the police NEVER charged him... his name came up as he had signed into the site, this was why he was investigated but NEVER charged... as the evidence showed his only crime was stupidity
