Crossword clue web search sparks porn deluge

An 89-year-old pensioner says he was shocked when an internet search for a crossword clue left him looking looking at porn.

Jack Sedgewick had been trying to solve the clue "Wild Asian Ass (6)" which was 14 across on his puzzle when he got the rude results.

The great-granddad claims he had typed the clue into a search engine before clicking through various results trying to find the answer.

He's reported as saying he was then sickened and shocked by the photos and videos of naked Asian girls he saw, though he continued clicking because he is a dedicated crossworder.

But the story has a happy ending (as did many of the search results), Jack eventually found the answer "onager", by changing his search to 'donkey sanctuaries'.
