I don't think anybody here has expressed the UK legal position correctly.
A few years ago, before everybody started getting hot under the collar about paedophilia, there were no laws at all about who you could photograph.
Then, in 1978, The Protection of Children Act was introduced. This made it an offence to take, or permit to be taken, any indecent photograph of a child. Children for this purpose are held to be 15 or younger.
Youngsters of 16 and 17 may be so photographed, but only with the consent of parent or guardian.
In fact, because most photographers and magazine publishers in the UK wish to be able to sell their product abroad, especially to the US, erotic photographs of girls under the age of 18 are virtually unsaleable through normal channels. However, they are not illegal (if consent was obtained, and the subject was 16 or over).
And for those who say that fancying a 16 year-old girl is disgusting or immoral I would remind them that most 16 year-old girls today are sexually mature, have been menstruating for years, and it is legal to marry them, have sexual intercourse with them, and even to sodomise them, if you so desire (and have their consent).
God or Nature designed girls to be very attractive to men when they become sexually mature, and if you DON'T fancy a pretty 16 year-old, then there IS something wrong with you. Not the reverse.
So, can we have less hypocritical claptrap please (I am not directing this entreaty at any particular poster).
None of this means that I in any way condone paedophilia, which is something else entirely.
I commend you to this link:

I know Paula Yates did lie about her age often but she certainly wasn't 15 when she was in Penthouse. Apparently, her autobiography is a tissue of lies as well so I would take most of what she said with a large pinch of salt.

I have to agree with Magoo about the Paula Yates pictures, although I am pretty sure they did not surface until the early to mid 90s where they were published in Mayfair, and as Magoo says they were never published again as it turned out she was only 15, also correct about the Linda Lusardi stuff when she was just 17, and the other girl who was famous and posed for mayfair and was underage was Louise Germaine , who became famous when she appeared in Lipstick on Your Collar with Ewan McGregor, the only way that these cases came to light is that the models all turned out to be famous, so you could only guess at the hundreds of other under-age models who must have posed around the same period.

I'm sorry you chose to take it that way.
I'm clearly an insensitive pig.
