Indeed. That stuff is, of course, ******* sick, but as long as you don't fall into the buyer or re-distributor categories I'm not sure possession of any image, even images as reprehensible as those described by Skarjo above, should be a crime.

That being said, if you're found with that sort of shite on your PC you should probably be made to see a shrink as something is wrong with you. Same could be said for the bestiality really. Still, outing and criminalising perhaps isn't fair.

EDIT: I wonder how many government watchlists I'm going to be put on for publicly stating such a hideously liberal opinion.

As for why it's wrong to possess bestiality/child rape pictures, if someone has it then they must want it, if they want it then others will too and thus you have a demand. Where there's a demand they'll soon be a supply and that's what the government wants to stop.

What.

There is nothing wrong with most Hentai, fair enough I don't really look at the stuff, but it's hardly a case of if people see Tentacle rape they're going to try it in real life is it.

Consultation on the Possession of Non-Photographic Visual Depictions of Child Sexual Abuse, Summary of responses and next steps (June 2007) wrote:The creation of a new offence of the possession of cartoons, drawings, computer
generated images and other material which depicts, or appears to depict, child sexual
abuse is a significant step. It is recognised that these images, unlike those produced in the
making of indecent photographs of children, do not involve harm to real children in their
creation, and the Government has further deliberated on the proposals, in the light of the
comments put forward... It is important, in this changing environment, that the law is
responsive and remains fully equipped to protect the public, and, in particular, the most
vulnerable members of society. We continue to believe that tightening up the law to cover
possession of such material is justified.

In the consultation, it was proposed that there should be a maximum penalty of three years’
imprisonment, or an unlimited fine, or both for possession of material depicting non-photographic
visual depictions of child sexual abuse. The offence will be an either way offence and, on summary
conviction, the maximum penalty will be six months, or a fine up
to the statutory maximum (currently £5,000), or both.

You have remember, this is the UK Government consulting with child protection professionals on the question of criminalising the possession of CG imagery, cartoons and drawings: NOT photographs = not real children. For being found in possession of any such drawings (such as hentai, yaoi or shota, you can expect to face three years in prison (CEOP, of course, favour five years - the same for being found in possession of REAL CP; you know, involving actual human beings), a place on the Sex Offenders Register and the complete and utter end of your life, job, relationship, family and home as you know it.

The really scary thing is that the above consultation paper is already over a year old. God alone knows how much closer we are now to this new law being brought in. And it WILL be brought in.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
