I know Howells has always been a semi-quaver short of a note, but it might be just a tad unfair to blame him for this as well.

The way I understand it is that a chap claimed to be accessing legal adult porn, but the site also happened to contain illegal dodgy stuff. His explanation was accepted and rightly or wrongly, he was employed by the relevant authorities.

As well as your Gary Glitters, innocent people can also get caught up in the witch hunt.
