A Florida child advocacy group has sent out leaflets ahead of the Super Bowl Halftime performance of Pete Townshend — legendary British rocker and registered sex offender.
The group is outraged that the 64-year-old guitarist will perform with his band The Who at the NFL’s championship game in Miami Feb. 7, The New York Post reported on Thursday.
In 2003, Townshed was placed on Britain’s sex offender registry for five years after admitting to using his credit card to access child pornography on the Internet.
Last month, the group lobbied federal authorities and Florida’s attorney general, requesting that Townshend’s visa be rejected.
