He added: “It’s clear that that material is available on a legitimate website in this country.

He said: “They are clearly all images designed to make people think they are of children. They are fictitious images in the sense that in no part of them does any real person appear.

The hell? So doesn't this mean UK fans can't own anime like Highschool DxD and High School of the Dead, as that as girls exposing themselves?

Its danger is that it obviously portrays sexual activity with children, and the more it's portrayed, the more the ill-disposed may think it's acceptable.

That's the same argument used against video games. Replace "sexual activity with children" with "people getting shot" or any other kind of crime.

They're persecuting people for the way they think, not for any harm they actually have done to other people.

Following the same logic the whole tv should be banned from our lives, oh but wait, mainstream entertainment that has powerful people and corporations behind them and what they produce cannot be bullied

I wanna see someone prosecuted because of Hollywood movies or tv and set a precedent that they are bad influence

Yeah, comparing that to indecent images of children(doesn't matter if they are real or not, it's the images themselves representing children) is pretty dumb.

For those who use the "it doesn't hurt anyone" or "it isn't real" argument. Cue people calling me a prude/conservative at 3...2....1.

A pedophile should be held responsible for his conduct — but not for the underlying attraction. Arguing for the rights of scorned and misunderstood groups is never popular, particularly when they are associated with real harm. But the fact that pedophilia is so despised is precisely why our responses to it, in criminal justice and mental health, have been so inconsistent and counterproductive. Acknowledging that pedophiles have a mental disorder, and removing the obstacles to their coming forward and seeking help, is not only the right thing to do, but it would also advance efforts to protect children from harm.
