Chris Andrew Mellon, 55, was arrested in January 2015 when cops raided his home after a tip-off and found a USB stick hidden in a tobacco tin.
Weeks later in May he began filming alongside Watson and an A-list cast featuring Ewan McGregor, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Emma Thompson and Downton heartthrob Dan Stevens.

Last month he was given an eight month jail sentence suspended for two years after pleading guilty to making indecent images of children.
A judge at Inner London crown court heard he downloaded 27 pictures of pre-pubescent children being abused between August 2007 and September 2014.
Some were in most serious category A — which includes rape and sadism.
A source said: “The police raided his house in early 2015 after a tip off.
“He maintained his innocence at first, but decided to plead guilty on the day of his trial.”
So, he "[made] indecent images of children", and he "downloaded 27 pictures of pre-pubescent children being abused ".... but all he got was an 8 month jail sentence.
WHAT THE FUCK, LONDON?!?!?!

Man, this story has sure been shut down on google and with mainstream. Disney, go figure

It looks like he dragged out the criminal proceeding to continue working under a very lucrative contract. Hopefully news of his arrest caused everyone around him to keep a watchfull eye. He didn't learn anything from the case as he maintains there were no victims, he was just a lurker. He was totally oblivious to the fact that someone else did the abuse in taking pictures or videotapes of children. Since he is a customer of such pornography, then he creates the demand for the product so he is equally complicit. These folks should have enormous fines attached to their sentences to pay for the law enforcement and victim rehab costs in addressing this scourge.

@risewithoutfear : Any chance you changed 'possessing' (as written in the article) to 'making'? Or maybe the article has been edited - anyway, I'd like to ask you to please change the quote.
Thank you.
I'll give you a 24 hours Period of grace flair, so that you'll have time to edit.

No I didn't, they must have changed it. Sneaky bastards. I should have archived, I didn't even think to. Shall update the quote though. Thanks @think- !
▼ think-
You're welcome, @risewithoutfear . Yes, sometimes they change the wording without saying anything....
▼ think-
...so the answer is 'yes'.
Btw., didn't Ewan McGregor and Ian McKellen turn up in our discussion about the lead actor of the series 'Tudor' - Rhys-Jones?

8 months in jail? WTF. Didn't the troll who called everyone "nigger" online get longer than that?
▼ think-
He didn't even go to jail. He got eight months, but suspended for two years. That means he would have only gone to jail if he had committed another crime.
▼ FrizzledFraggle
I didn't see anywhere in the article where it claimed he MADE indecent images of children but he sure as shit had them the sick bastard. How is Disney going to defend this shit? Between all the pedos that work for Disney being arrested and the pedos they're hiring for their movies all parents need to go on a complete Disney boycott. Spank their wallets hard, stop giving these perverts money
▼ risewithoutfear
Yeah the article changed 'making' to 'possessing' after I'd copy/pasted and shared the link here.

Damn. Had no idea about this person before your post. Thank you. Also, she is a fright to look at, no soul in her eyes. Evil woman who has probably committed all kinds of vile acts in order to get where she is today.

I think it is worse over there, actually. We have to remember the CROWN is over there. They are behind this pedophilic push. They have been raping their own for centuries. They sent them over here on the Mayflower, I believe. Not to discount the infiltration of our Judicial System. We are no Angels over here now either. This must stop.

He's had some strings puled for him.. By whom?
But obviously: corrupt Judge is the guy who takes the bribe/ in on it.
