Anti-child abuse campaigners are demanding that rock star Pete Townshend be treated as a sex offender when he plays at next year's Superbowl concert in America.

They want the guitarist of The Who to provide DNA samples and fingerprints and to pose for a police mug shot before being allowed to perform during the half-time show of America's biggest sporting event.

The Protect Our Children group had called for Townshend to be stopped from entering the country because of his 2003 child porn arrest.

However, US authorities have cleared Townshend and his band mates to perform.
But the campaign group says if he does play at the half-time show in Miami, Florida, next February he should be taken into custody and made to register with local police.

Florida state law says anyone with a sex offender background must register with police and provide fingerprints, DNA samples and a mugshot.

Townshend, 64, was arrested in 2003 but not prosecuted for accessing child pornography on his home computer.

The guitarist was placed on the UK's sex offenders register for five years after he admitted accessing child pornography online.
He claimed he was doing research for a project.
Protect Our Children's spokesman Kevin Gillick said: 'How he has been given access to the U.S. remains a mystery or perhaps it's another demonstration of celebrity privilege.'


The Superbowl attracts America's biggest annual TV audience. More than 90 million viewers are expected to tune in to the U.S. equivalent of the FA Cup final, with the two top American Football teams competing.
Previous British stars to perform during the 30-minute break include the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney.
The occasion was also mired in controversy in 2004 when Janet Jackson suffered a breast-exposing 'wardrobe malfunction' during her duet with Justin Timberlake.

These are the same type of folks who don't want to go thru airport screening devices that give a full body scan "naked"

Child Porn is sick - I'd rather Pete wasn't involved, but his " involvement" was for reaseach he claimed.

Even if so, McCartney was in Jail in Japan for 2 weeks for pot.
The Rolling Stones are the bad boys of R&R.

Petty writes songs about smoking weed!!!
All performed at the Super Bowl.
