A FORMER self-styled 'emperor of porn' admitted running a string of prostitutes yesterday.
At Southwark Crown Court, south London, James Humphreys, 64, of West Hampstead, north-west London, pleaded guilty to three charges of 'knowingly living wholly, or in part' on immoral earnings. His wife, June, 59, appeared with him under her maiden name of Packard. She admitted aiding and abetting him to commit the offences between March 1992 and November 1993. Four other charges against her were left on the file.
The case was adjourned until 1 July for reports.
