The criminal law on indecent images of children is clear, comprehensive and well understood by the public and the courts. Under the Protection of Children Act, a person is taken to be a child if it appears from the evidence as a whole that they are under 18. In the case of pseudo-photographs, where the predominant impression conveyed is that the person shown is under 18, they are taken to be a child, even where some of the physical characteristics are those of an adult.
