Plan to close child porn loophole
May 28, 2008
Source: News.bbc.co.uk
Drawings and computer-generated images of child sex abuse would be made illegal under proposals announced by Justice Minister Maria Eagle.
Owners of such images would face up to three years in prison under the plans.
Under the Obscene Publications Act it is illegal to possess photos of child abuse but it is legal to own drawings and computer-generated images.
The plans are part of the government's response to a public consultation exercise carried out last year.
