BBC Star Faces Jail Over Child Porn Guilt
Chris Langham, the award-winning comic actor and scriptwriter, is in jail after being found guilty of downloading pornographic images of children being abused.
The 58-year-old comedian, who was acquitted by a jury of eight charges of sexually assaulting a schoolgirl, now faces up to 10 years in prison for viewing paedophile videos and photographs on his computers at his farmhouse home near Cranbrook, Kent.
Langham, whose BBC shows 'The Thick of It' and 'Help' shared three Baftas last year, was ordered by a judge at Maidstone Crown Court to be held in jail until he is sentenced on September 14. His career now stands in ruins.
