BRITISH PORN KING CROWNED

Graham Weddon's ill health kept him out of the gaol. The man whom Reuters says ran Britain's biggest Internet pornography business received an 18-month suspended sentence Monday for running hardcore sites from his Surrey home.

And the head of Scotland Yard's vice unit tells Reuters the material on Weddon's sites was the most "extreme" porn with which that unit had ever contended.

Court records indicate that one site could bring Weddon about $US 7,214 in one day.
