QUESTION: Is it not a criminal offence to make sex images of persons age-sixteen?
ANSWER: Section 1A of the Protection of Children Act 1978, in which Joseph was convicted, says that it is NOT an offence to make sex images of person age-sixteen, ONLY if you are in a family relationship with this person. In this case, there is parental consent to marry between Joseph and his partner before his arrest; they already acquired a 3-bed room house and renovating their house when Joseph was arrested, they bought a car and an engagement ring. And they lived together as partners in an enduring family relationship before Joseph was arrested for being in this relationship.
