Changes

Stephen Smith (alias Stephen Freeman) fled to Holland in 1984 to escape trial on child pornography charges, but was extradited in 1991 and was jailed for 18 months. He admitted publishing an obscene magazine and sending it through the post in 1982. He also faced charges of molesting a 10-year-old boy. Smith was defended by Adrian Fulford, a barrister who later became a QC and then Britain's first openly [[homosexual]] judge. There is no proof that Fulford was ever a member of PIE but he regularly acted as its defence lawyer in prosecutions.
