BBC: Mother's porn law campaign ends

[...] Possession of sexually violent images will now be punishable by up to three years in jail.

Under the new rules, criminal responsibility shifts from the producer - who is responsible under the 1959 Obscene Publications Act (OPA) - to the consumer.

[...] Under the new law, pornographic material which depicts necrophilia, bestiality or violence which is life threatening or likely to result in serious injury to the anus, breasts or genitals is outlawed.

[...] "The material to be covered by the ban is already illegal to publish and distribute in the UK under the Obscene Publications Act (OPA) 1959 but can be accessed in the UK from abroad via the internet.

"Legislating in this area will ensure that the possession of such material is illegal both on and off line."
