James Humphreys (pornographer)[edit]

An insalubrious character, James Humphreys was a peddler of mucky mags, a strip club owner and a pimp. In order to carry on his business in the 60s and 70s he spent thousands on bribing the Dirty Squad, as the the Obscene Publications Branch of the Met were called. Cars, cash, jewellery and holidays ensured the money kept rolling in from his Soho porn empire. Then it all went wrong and Humphreys used his records of bribes to get a shorter jail sentence after beating up his wife's lover. Thirteen bent coppers were banged up because of his evidence. This is a new article that's just gone through GA, and a run at FAC is the next step. All constructive comments are warmly welcomed. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 04:33, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
