This sounds like one of those nasty justice stories from Iran, Iraq or
Pakistan. To face jail time over a private copy of jokey 6s video is
shameful. What a crap country Britain has becomeSee

by British 'justice' |
A man has been warned he faces a custodial sentence after pleading guilty
to possession of what prosecutors described as extreme porn at Mold
Crown Court last week.
The charge alleged that Holland had downloaded and viewed a six-second
clip of human-on-human extreme porn.
According to Holland, this was sent to him as a joke - he viewed it just
once, but made the mistake of not getting round to deleting it.
At the Crown Court in Mold, last week, before Mr Justice Medland, Holland
pleaded guilty to a charge of possession, in the expectation that this would
count as mitigation and lead to a lighter sentence.
Holland told the Register last week that he was therefore shocked in the
extreme to be told to return home pending reports – and that a custodial
sentence was likely.

A Lower Earley man – the first person in this
area to be arrested under a new law forbidding the possession of extreme
pornography – has been rebailed until March.
The 66-year-old answered bail at Loddon Valley
police station this month and was told to return to the same station on
Friday, March 19.
He was arrested in August following a house
raid on suspicion of possessing extreme pornographic images and indecent
images of children.

A
Swansea Valley man has been warned he is facing a prison sentence
after he admitted possessing pornography classed as extreme and
dangerous.
David Wilson appeared before Judge Huw Davies at Swansea crown court for
a plea and case management hearing.
Wilson admitted possessing extreme pornographic images depicting sex or
sexual intercourse with animals on various dates during 2009.
Wilson also admitted possessing dangerous pornography on June 5, 2009
which depicted scenes that could have resulted in serious injury to those
taking part.
Janet Gedrych, prosecuting, said a total of 642 images fell into the two
categories of extreme and dangerous.
But, in addition, Wilson admitted making (ie downloading) or possessing
indecent images of children on 12 occasions in 2009.
Judge Davies agreed to a request by Wilson's barrister, Paul Hobson, to
adjourn sentence to allow time for a probation officer to prepare a report
into his background. But he warned Wilson not to draw any encouragement from
the adjournment: He will understand that he faces the overwhelming
likelihood of a custodial sentence because of the number of type of images
involved, added the judge.

A
man has been fined for possessing extreme pornographic images
featuring women, horses and dogs.
Matthew Jones pleaded guilty in January to four counts of possessing 188
images on DVDs and a laptop.
He was fined £1,000 at Guildford Crown Court.
Laura Plant, prosecuting, told the court that the man had in his
possession both still and moving images downloaded from the internet. She
added: It's mostly horses and dogs I'm told, and adult females having
intercourse with them or performing oral intercourse on the animals.
The court heard that police discovered the images on a laptop and DVDs
under a bed after they carried out a search of Jones's house on March 4 last
year.
In addition to the scenes of bestiality, there were also pictures
described in court as being of an extreme sadistic nature likely to
cause injury to body parts, and images depicting severe bondage and extreme
piercing.
Richard McConaghy, defending, said possession of the images had become a
criminal offence just over a month before they were seized. He added:
While it appears some of these images were downloaded in this gap, the
majority of them were things he had for longer within his possession. Most
part of the criminality comes from not disposing of these images.
Before sentencing, Judge Michael Addison viewed some of the pictures. He
told Jones: These are serious offences because the making of images of
these sort must be discouraged.

A
Post Office worker has admitted keeping a library of hardcore DVDs
featuring bestiality and genital mutilation.
The man was investigated after Gatwick airport officials intercepted a
consignment of films addressed to him.
When police went to his home in Dulwich, asking if he had any more
obscene material, he directed them to his lounge.
They found 42 discs featuring humans in sex scenes with animals and
others depicting acts causing serious injury to breasts, anus and
genitals, Inner London Crown Court heard.
On Tuesday, Judge Crawford Lindsay adjourned the case for psychiatric
reports. He allowed the postal worker unconditional bail ahead of sentence
on March 19.
The man admitted two charges of attempting to possess six obscene DVDs
and two of possessing 42 such DVDs between May 9 and June 26 last year.

Despite the odd absurd anomaly, such as an attempt to prosecute for a
depiction of a woman having sex with a cartoon tiger, the UK
government's “extreme pornography” laws have not have proved to be the
threat to free expression.
Critics of the extreme porn law, which took effect a year ago this week,
may be feeling a sense of ironic let-down on its anniversary, as
legislation supposedly passed to protect the innocent from extreme
sadists appears to have turned, all too rapidly, into the “Safeguarding
Vulnerable Animals Act”.

Thomas Edwards, who at the time worked in catering at Chester Zoo, denied a
charge of attempting to penetrate a living animal during an incident on August
30 last year. He said he went out into the back yard to have a smoke and to
urinate – and simply stroked one of two dogs which he did not know were there
until he went out into the yard.
Edwards admitted seven charges of possessing animal pornography on his computer.

The CPS dropped a prosecution under the extreme porn law last week
when it apparently accepted that the soundtrack on a clip of a tiger
apparently having sex with a women rendered the video comical rather
than pornographic.
Andrew Holland appeared at Mold Crown Court on New Year's Eve to answer
two charges of possessing extreme porn. Both charges related to video clips
sent to him by friends, allegedly as jokes.
The first charge involved a video clip of a woman having sex with a
tiger. The tiger, according to Holland, was an animated image, rather than a
real tiger.
He told El Reg that the fictional nature of the action was obvious from
the fact that, at the end of the scene, the Tiger turns to camera and said:
that beats doing Frosties ads for a living.

Thrown to the Tigers |
A North Wales man has been cleared of possessing an extreme
pornographic image involving a tiger having sex with a woman.
The prosecution offered no evidence when it was accepted that the tiger
in the clip was not real, and that it was all a joke.
It emerged in court that police and prosecutors had not previously
listened to the film with the sound on. Following the act, the tiger turned
to the camera and roared: That beats the Frosties advert!.
Defendant Andrew Holland appeared at Mold Crown Court today and pleaded
not guilty.
Prosecutor Elizabeth Bell said that the prosecution had decided to offer
no evidence against him.
When asked by Judge John Rogers QC why that was being done, she said that
when the case was previously reviewed the film had no sound track. It had
been further reviewed, the sound track could be heard, and it was clear that
the film had been produced for the purposes of a joke rather than for sexual
gratification.
The sound track confirmed that the person watching the image would
realise that it was not actually a real tiger that was involved in the fact,
she said.
The judge recorded a formal not guilty verdict.
The court heard how the film had been blue toothed to the
defendant as a joke.
Following the hearing, defending barrister David Potter said that the
prosecution now accepted that any reasonable person viewing the video would
not consider it to be real and that it was produced for the purposes of a
joke.
The sound track showed the tiger describing himself as Tony the Tiger,
the Frosties advert character, who roars and says 'that beats the Frosties
advert', he explained.
The joke meant that Holland had found himself accused in court - and on
various Internet sites - of possessing an extreme pornographic image which
portrayed a person performing an act of intercourse with a tiger which was
grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character.
Unfortunately the persecution is not an an end, Holland faces another
charge under the Dangerous Pictures Act involving the 'serious injury'
clause. This will be heard in court on 17th March.
