Crime and Policing BillContribution
Amendment 290 addresses a fundamental legal loophole that the law currently allows: it is to allow an adult to mimic a child in pornographic content and for that content to remain lawful online. The amendment would strengthen the Protection of Children Act 1978, extending the offence of making an indecent photograph of a child to include pornographic material depicting a child, where the role is played by an adult performer.
