The arrival of the internet has brought an abundance of pornographic websites. Whilst the vast majority of these websites are lawful in their content, a growing minority contain illegal pornography. Access to these illegal sites has served to corrupt people who would otherwise have never thought about such material. It has also led to innocent computer users being suspected of accessing illegal sites.

The government’s apparent failure to stop such websites at source is something that brings people to the criminal courts who would never expect to be there. Even if one website is closed down, another immediately opens.

The accessibility of indecent images online has drawn the attention of law enforcement agencies, including the National Crime Agency and police forces across the UK. In 2014 – 2015 the use of secret software during Operation Notarise, that tracks peer to peer sharing of illegal images, resulted in the identification of over 25,000 individuals, with 745 arrests.

You may have noted that the number of arrests is relatively small compared with the number of people accessing illegal images. The police will often concentrate investigations on people in positions of trust, such a doctors, teachers, social workers and police officers. People already charged under Operation Notarise include teachers, a border agency officer, civil servants, a GP, medical technicians, one paediatrician, police officers, and even a magistrate.

As well as facing criminal proceedings, those accused may also face employment disciplinary proceedings or fitness to practice investigations that may result in suspension and loss of livelihood.

Allegations can be particularly distressing. People who would otherwise be classed as ordinary, hard working and law abiding may suddenly be reported in local and national media as ‘sex offenders’.

There is also often confusion as to what actually amounts to “indecent images”. This is a legal term which actually includes indecent video, photographs and computer data capable of conversion into a photo or video file. The test for ‘indecency’ is for the jury to decide based on the recognised standard of what is acceptable. Get free advice online today using the button below...
