Part of Sexual Offences Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee am 9:10 pm ar 18 Medi 2003.
We are talking about activities being investigated by the police or Crown Prosecution Service that involve people who have taken part in a meaningful way in the production of photographs or pseudo-photographs without the consent of the child. A person who developed photographs could technically be liable, as is the case now, but it is unlikely that they would be prosecuted if they had simply developed the photographs. The focus of the police investigation and prosecution would be on the people who had perpetrated what was regarded as the core of the offence.
