"I'd probably watch child porn" says ex-TV presenter

[Yawn]

Nick Ross has sparked further controversy after admitting that he would "probably" watch recorded child sex abuse if asked.

The ex-Crimewatch host was speaking at The Telegraph Hay Festival where he made the comments.

"We're all inquisitive," Ross was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

"I had never seen, until I started working on Crimewatch, child pornography."

He added: "I think if someone came to me and said, 'Would you like to see what all the fuss is about?', I'm sorry, I probably would say yes."

How does that make him vile? Juries, solicitors, criminal investigators and judges see all of this all of the time. If you were in that profession, and despite crime watch being a TV show designed to leech off of rather serious criminal offences, the people who work for it do get faced with serious crimes such as child abuse and pornography. From a deeply analytical point of view, it could be interesting to see "what the fuss is all about" if you are faced with child abuse claims and pornography allegations, because in order to fully understand the seriousness of the crime, you must actually see what makes it a crime. It happens all the time in rape cases.

Honestly, people who think this makes him an evil, twisted, vile human being no better than Jimmy Savile are too naive and frankly too dumb to function.
