Comedian charged over internet porn
Award-winning comedian Chris Langham has been charged with 15 counts of making indecent images of children, police have confirmed.
Mr Langham, 57, from Cranbrook in Kent, is due to appear at Sevenoaks Magistrates Court on May 17.
Mr Langham, an acclaimed comic actor, won a Bafta last weekend for his portrayal of harassed government minister Hugh Abbot in BBC Four satire 'The Thick Of It'.
He also plays a psychiatrist in the BBC 2 sitcom 'Help' alongside Paul Whitehouse.
He won the award for best television comedy actor at the British Comedy Awards.
Mr Langham was originally arrested last November as part of an investigation linked to Operation Ore, the major inquiry into internet child pornography.
In a statement, Mr Langham said: "I am devastated to have been charged with offences arising from a police investigation.
"I am anxious to clear my name and although there is a great deal I would like to say, I am unable to do so as a result of the legal proceedings.
"I request once again that the privacy of my family is respected."
