Is viewing indecent images the same as possessing in the UK?

In recent years, lawmakers in the UK have had to make difficult decisions about how to control what images people watch, possess, sell, and otherwise distribute. The emergence of the Internet and the wide availability of mobile devices with cameras has made this matter even more of a public concern than it ever used to be.

The result for the general public is that the laws on indecent images are quite complex, and if you or someone you care about has been charged with an offence related to viewing and/or possessing indecent images (or a related crime), then it stands to reason that you might be upset and confused about what it all means.

In this article, we outline the main crimes involving indecent images in England and Wales and shed light on some key issues that may affect your case. More information on where to get help with your case can be found at the end of the article.

What are indecent images?

Unfortunately, there is no simple explanation under English law as to what an ‘indecent image’ actually is. This is because the range of images that could potentially fall into this category is so diverse.

In an attempt to catch and treat different types of images appropriately, the General Sentencing Council (the body responsible for deciding criminal sentences) has created a three-tier system (which replaced the more complicated five-tier system in 2014):

• Category A images are deemed the most serious
• Category B images encompass the mid-range in terms of seriousness
• Category C images are the least serious

Figuring out exactly which category an image should below to is not always a simple task. There are detailed guidelines for each category, but the definitions are hotly debated in legal circles. Some argue the definitions encompass too much, whereas others argue they are too narrow.

What this means in practice is that in existing criminal cases, much will just come down to how the judge instructs the jury to understand the definition.

What are Category A indecent images?

Category A indecent images are deemed the most serious, and punishments for these kinds of images are accordingly the most severe permitted by the law.

Category A images typically involve penetrative sexual activity, sadism, assault, or sexual activity with an animal. Any image that shows a child being subjected to pain will also fall within this category.

What are Category B indecent images?

Category B indecent images encompass a range of images that involve children or animals involved in non-penetrative sexual assault and explicit sexual activity, such as masturbation, oral sex, sexual touching, or anything else that falls within the parameters of sexual activity.

There is no longer a requirement that an adult is present in the image, although in most cases where an adult is present in the image, the image will usually fall into this category unless it is obscene enough to be categorised as a Category A image. Images that only show children involved in explicit sexual activity also fall under Category B.

What are Category C indecent images?

Category C indecent images are those that depict some sexually suggestive content but do not fall within the seriousness of Categories A and B.

The definition is a very loose one, and technically many family photographs and editorial and artistic works would fall under this definition. Because of this, it is the intention of the person viewing or possessing the image that ultimately falls under scrutiny by the court. There is nothing wrong with a family picture of children playing at the beach while on holiday, for example, unless the person viewing or possessing the image intends that the image should depict sexual content (because the children might only be wearing minimal clothing, for example) or be shared with others who derive pleasure from indecent images of children.

Is it only still images that are restricted?

No, still images are just one small part of the wider concept of ‘image’ taken into account by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The CPS understands an ‘image’ to be still images like photographs, along with moving images (namely videos), animations, video photography, and ‘pseudo-photography’ (a category that covers images that can be converted from one thing – usually innocent – into another thing – usually indecent – by computer software). Sketches, paintings, and other hand-drawn images are not covered by the definition.

What crimes involve indecent images?

Despite common parlance referring to ‘viewing’ indecent images as an offence, the law actually makes criminal the ‘possession’ of images and the ‘making’ of them. As such, there is an offence for ‘possession’ and a separate offence for ‘making’ (although these are often prosecuted at the same time in many cases).

• ‘Possessing’ indecent images means the physical or digital possession of a prohibited image. Most often, this is a file on a computer or phone, printed materials, or a form of pseudo-photography (computer transformed image) mentioned earlier. The definition of possessing gets complicated when a file has been deleted, as technically the imprint of the file still remains in the possession of the individual on their hard drive even though they might not be able to view it anymore without restoring the files.

• ‘Making’ indecent images is another complicated concept, as it does not only refer to the simple ‘making’ of images, such as taking a photograph or filming a video. Making can also relate to file-making, which occurs when an image is downloaded (a new file of the image is created locally on the computer of whomever downloads it) or otherwise saved to a device. Even those who accidentally download child pornography or other indecent images fall foul of this definition in the eyes of the law, meaning the ‘it was an accident’ excuse can be near useless in court. Again, much will come down to the intention of the person that made the image. Forensic investigators are usually able to uncover the origin and processing of files, which furnishes the court with greater context about where images came from and what actually happened to/with them once they were made. The distribution of images also falls under making, so if someone shares, sells, or otherwise ‘makes new copies’ of the images, they will also be charged with making indecent images.

So, is ‘viewing’ indecent images the same as ‘possessing’?

To give a lawyer’s answer, ‘it depends’. Viewing an image can be done in many ways, and viewing may or may not amount to possession. If to view the image a person has to download it onto their computer, then a file will be made and so viewing may equate with the more serious offence of ‘making’. If a person is found to be viewing image results only on a search engine website, the offence may be deemed one of the less serious possession. Drawing clear lines between the offences is very difficult indeed, and often there is no clarity on the point until the trial concludes and a judge gives her or his opinion on the matter.

What are the punishments for possessing or making indecent images in the UK?

For Category A offences – which, recall, are the most serious – the punishment for possession ranges from one to three years’ imprisonment, and for making indecent images can exceed six years’ imprisonment in the worst cases of production.

For Category B offences, possession can attract sentences of a minimum of 26 weeks (around six months) and making can attract sentences of between one and four years’ imprisonment.

Finally, for Category C offences, punishments range from community orders for possession and imprisonment of between one and three years for making.

What is illegal to watch on the Internet in the UK?

 Most of us are – for one reason or another – well aware that the UK government censors – or tries to censor – a number of things on the Internet.

The laws providing for these restrictions are very broad and they encompass everything from restricting access to textbooks because of copyright law to banning extreme pornography in the public interest.

When it comes to pornography, many types of pornography fall under government prohibitions, including child pornography, animal pornography, ‘scat’ pornography (an extreme form of pornography involving defecation), and any pornography that shows assault or violence, or involves vulnerable individuals. Because definitions are so wide, there is no current list of exactly what is illegal to watch on the Internet in the UK.

When you have to look for a solicitor it’s usually because you’ve found yourself in less than pleasant circumstances. That was absolutely the case for me when I reached out to Stuart Miller Solicitors.I was dealing with a matter that had transpired over two years ago and was receiving repetitive communications and misdirections from police. However, that all ended when I was represented by Stuart Miller Solicitors.They were so helpful at every stage, but especially Scarlett Rowe, who simply was exceptional.Scarlett went above and beyond what I sense my case even required. She submitted disclosures and communications to CPS in a manner and at junctures where it would be most impactful and therefore critical to a good outcome. And that’s exactly what I got—nothing short of a good outcome.

I’d like to thank the team and especially Anna Sidgwick, on securing the acquittal for my son at Isleworth Crown Court.In what was a traumatic and emotional experience Anna was always on hand to support us.Effectively bridging the gap with our son who was in custody.Her diligence and commitment allowed what was a troubled experience, bearable.Very professional and diligent.Much appreciated.

What can I say! When no one else would listen to me or give me the benefit of the doubt in a completely nonsensical case, Mohammed Zeb and Nick James were my knights in shining armor. Mohammed Zeb believed in my innocence, and Nick, along with the rest of the Stuart Miller team, upheld my integrity while tirelessly fighting my case day and night. Their commitment, dedication, and unwavering support were crucial when everyone else thought I was headed for a prison sentence. After three and a half years, when the Crown finally brought us to trial, they not only won but did so unanimously.We all see shows like "Suits" and "Better Call Saul," but if you want to get your life back, there's only one place for all criminal cases: Stuart Miller. They particularly excel at police custody representation. When you're in a tough situation, there's only one team you need—Stuart Miller. Thank you all for giving me my life back!

Amazing lawyer firm. After being represented by Amirah K. we were able to have our case dropped within 5 months when original estimates had been 2 years!! Most firms said they would do nothing and that we should just do legal aid. Stuart Miller said “No” and instead seeked to represent us, they chased the OIC and went far and beyond.If you need a lawyer, don’t waste time on these other smaller firms that promise nothing but scary maybes and demand thousands in return. Go with Stuart Miller, it’ll be the best decision you ever made.

We found this place on the last minute and we did not expect that the problem will be resolved.Was a complicated matter and we wouldn’t trust to everyone but Abu Kibla with his professional experience made it so calm and easy for us. We cannot thank him enough for being able to resolve our case with the best outcome ever. We will definitely recommend Abu to any friends or relatives. Once again thank you for the bottom of the heart.

I have unfortunately found myself in a position to be needing legal advice and representation in court. This company has been professional and efficient from start to finish. Excellent communication and advice from Kelly and representation from Robert in court. They were both amazing and explained every step of the process and calmed me down and also managed to get the unfounded charges dropped. I can’t recommend them enough. They absolutely take your case personally and try their hardest for you every step of the way.

I’m not really sure where to start I been on a roller coaster with my son and his many cases for years now. So Stuart miller solicitors have become like family to me.Nothing I can say on here will ever give the amount of gratitude and and thanks to these guysI want to thank them individually as i have had personal experiences with all 3 of them, Zeb I cannot say thank you enough, you have been there through my darkest days , got me through times when I had very low moral. Your level of expertise and your knowledge of law, are priceless and of course you are a real force to be reckoned with!! Kibla thank you I know I have not been easy at times to deal with but you kept your cool and professional conduct throughout you and Zeb have gone beyond what your duties were with my son cases, I will forever be grateful for your unwavering support in all matters.Savanna words are not enough for you, for your commitment your dedication and hard work youput in is unmeasurable you guys are the best lawyers in london, because you made me feel like my son case mattered and you thought hard to get him the best outcome , with multi counts of A class drug charges knife and handing stolen goodAnd second strike I thought it was game over For my son, he really was looking at many years in prison.Not so with all your expertise and drive and hard work the end result was excellent 4half years to serve half with mitigation this meant he will serve a small amount of time.This was truly a massive shock to me and an excellent result.I cannot recommend Stuert Miller enough these guys are truly worth their weight in law.I wish you guys every success in your firm you truly deserve itYour forever gratefulSouad ghailan

Thank you so much to Mohammed Zeb And Sophie. We was supported in all steps along the way of my little sister’s case. They made us extremely comfortable and sufficiently advised us in every aspect. All of our questions were answered in detail and all information we needed was clearly outlined to us. With the prosecution pushing for jail time, Mr Zeb was able to quickly diffuse the situation in court and get an outcome for us that was much less detrimental. We are so happy that we chose to go with this firm and would recommend Stuart Miller to any and everyone. Thank you again to Mr Zeb and Sophie for all your support, we will never forget it.

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

Unfortunately got myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. My solicitor was great, but attention needs to be drawn especially to Amirah. She well and truly went over and beyond what most people would do, to help me resolve the situation. Nothing was ever too much, in fact it was her who pushed things further than I'd have even asked her to, she really does care about not just her occupation, but the people she helps. Cannot say enough good things about her... not just good legal representation, but an actual lovely person who genuinely cares, and you don't get that very often anymore. So, thank you to Stuart Miller Solicitors in Wood Green, but definitely, more importantly, to Amirah.

Jake Elliott

11:46 02 Aug 23

Abu Kibla represented me for my second drink driving offence, and not only that I had no license or insurance. Perhaps I am exposing myself saying that but you need the context as Kibla managed to get my ban reduced from 3 years to 2.5, and only a 200 pound fine. Aside from being very professional at what he does, he's also a good guy, who has your back. He explained my situation to the judge in a clear way I wouldn't have been able to. Don't hesitate!

20:05 01 Aug 23

I would like to thank everyone at Stuart miller especially to Kibla for their excellent work. At a time when things were very hard for me they helped me win my case. I hoped for total support from Stuart Miller when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Stuart Miller to anyone seeking for a reliable legal team. Many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant.

Excellent service from sincere highly qualified individuals who are truly motivated to help you with legal matters. I specifically want to thank Kelly Morris for her outstanding work in my case. She is an awesome lady and a fantastic legal professional who I simply cannot thank enough! Kelly I will never forget the day you called me with the good news. 10/10 service!Big thanks to Stuart Miller law firm also! I will be using this law firm if any future legal problems arise, but hopefully this will not be the case!
