@izzythepush,
So raping a child is the same as having a picture of that rape?
Sorry but they are not one and the same even those both should be punish.
The rapist should never be able to get out of prison, the picture holder should be punish and treated and monitor as they are not one and the same crime.
Of course we are not even talking about fringe cases where two legal lovers for example are sending each others pictures and end up being charge for CP crimes.
PS I happen overall to agree with your English lawmakers on the degree of punishment call for having such pictures as a matter of fact.
