What this law does
Section 182F makes it an offence to knowingly make, print or publish child abusive material or child pornography, liable on conviction on indictment to ten years' imprisonment or on summary conviction to five years, and a separate offence to knowingly distribute, transmit, make available, sell, import or export such material, carrying the same penalties.
Child pornography is defined as a photograph, film, video or other visual representation, whether or not made by electronic or mechanical means, that shows a child who is, or is depicted as being, engaged in explicit sexual activity, or whose dominant characteristic is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region; the definition does not require the depicted child to be a real, identifiable individual, so a computer-generated or AI-synthesised depiction meeting it can fall within the ban. For sections 182C to 182H, "child" means a person under the age of sixteen.
