Massive Attack Star Arrested Over Child Porn

Thu February 27, 2003 01:41 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - A member of dance group Massive Attack has been arrested on suspicion of internet pornography offences, police sources said on Thursday.

Robert Del Naja, who denies the claims, was held by police on Tuesday in his home city of Bristol in the latest phase of Operation Ore, a year-long nationwide crackdown on internet child pornography that has led to more than 1,300 arrests. He was later released on bail. Police seized computer equipment and a quantity of drugs in the raid.

"A man in his 30s from Bristol was arrested on Tuesday February 25 in connection with allegations of possessing class A drugs and internet pornography offences," a police spokesman said. "He was bailed pending further inquiries."

Massive Attack are best known for their hit single Unfinished Sympathy off their 1991 critically acclaimed Blue Lines album.

The 36-year-old disputed the allegations and told the Sun newspaper: "I have never looked at child pornography in my life.

"I am fully co-operating with the police and I would ask everyone not to judge me prematurely. I have total faith in the justice system."

Del Naja was recently in the press for joining anti-war protesters and lobbying the government against the possible military campaign in Iraq.

He could not be reached for independent comment.

You never know whats goin on in these types of cases..

I recently read an article about this, and they said a lot of these task forces are set up to get tons of arrests, but they usally use entrapment to get them, but of course they tarnish the person's name no matter what happens.

Like they could send you an email or something with a link, and if you click the link and see a picture like that, you can be arrested, even if you didnt know what it was..yeah its crazy, but all cops are assholes, its something ive come to accept, and will do anything to get arrests.

Not that kiddie porn is acceptable, but when you trick people into viewing it for the purpose of arresting them, thats bad too
