Langham's porn 'admission'
Trial latest
Chris Langham looked at child pornography pictures because it made him feel like a ‘better man’, his trial has heard.The woman he is accused of indecently assaulting said he made the confession during a tearful phone call to her.
She said the call came after The Thick Of It actor was arrested on suspicion of downloading child pornography in November 2005.
‘He said he was basically not looking at the children but at the people who were hurting them,’ she told Maidstone Crown Court. ‘He was looking into their eyes because it made him feel like a better man.
‘He was very distraught while he was talking to me. He was crying, he was suicidal, he claimed.’
Langham, 58, from Golford, Kent, has denied ten counts of indecent assault and two counts of a serious sexual offence between 1996 and 2000. He also denies 15 counts of making an indecent image of a child in 2005.
The case continues.
