Chris Langham - Langham Accused Of 'Acting' In Court

LATEST: British comedy star CHRIS LANGHAM has been accused of 'acting' after dramatically breaking down in court during his child porn trial. Taking the witness stand at Maidstone Crown Court in England on Friday (27Jul07), Langham collapsed in a sobbing heap as he recounted details of the sexual abuse he suffered as a child. But prosecution lawyers have accused him of exaggerating his own alleged experience of child molestation to manipulate the jury. Richard Barraclough QC, prosecuting, said: "They are genuine outbursts, are they? Because we know that you are an actor. We don't see any tears." To which Langham replied: "Yes, they are genuine. I can barely string two cogent thoughts together." He claims to have been abused aged just eight by a man who took him sailing when he was living in Canada with his family. The trial continues.
