O/T (a bit) - New U.K. Sex Laws

[joe king]

'Also note that the Act also makes it illegal to use 16 or 17 year olds for porn. Or more accurately to profit from it.'
is this clause 55?
'55 Causing or inciting child prostitution or pornography
(1) A person (A) commits an offence if?
(a) he intentionally causes or incites another person (B) to become a
prostitute, or to be involved in pornography, in any part of the world,
(b) he does so for or in the expectation of gain for himself or a third person,
and
(c) either?
(i) B is under 18, and A does not reasonably believe that B is 18 or
over, or
(ii) B is under 13.
(2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable?
(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6
months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both;
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding
14 years.'

He can take photos (indecent and or pornographic(?) with consent)
Clause 52 Indecent photographs of persons aged 16 or 17
Is this just indecent (whatever that means) or is it pornographic as well?

[steve56]

it all depends who hes doing it with!

[The Reverend Magoo]

We all know theres no real workable definition of indecent as demonstrated by the farcical Obscene Publications Act and its peculiar history of contradictary outcomes at trial.

I would think "pornographic" is much easier for a jury to grasp as all they need to think about is wether the pictures purpose is to cause arousal. No nonesense about "depprave and corrupt" which confused jurors for the last fifty years.
