Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

This type of content that mimics child sexual abuse normalises the sexualisation of children, promotes the idea that children consent and fuels demand for real child abuse material. Let me be clear: the content we are trying to capture in Amendment 300A is not adult men, who are very clearly adult men, dressing up in nappies, for example, or grown women wearing school uniforms; it is content where very young-looking 18 year-olds are styled to look like prepubescent and pubescent children. Predators themselves say that their trajectory began with this normalised extreme content.
