Is this a similar situation in the UK? It is awfully difficult to tell if an 18yo's content is of an 18yo or a 16yo. See what I'm saying? They could be going on the safe side and labeling it as CP until they find out otherwise... and maybe they never do find out. So it remains wrongly classified as CP.
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Let's put it this way
IWF are not concerned about the "adult industry" - they are well-aware of porn and that's not an issue or under their brief.
There is also a much wider field covered by IWF - it is basically everything from fraud to organized crime, CP blah.
Sure there will be instances of nuts claiming CP when it may not be and.. hell.. I don't know for certain - but doubt there will be many issues over whether is model is 16 or 18 since this can vary depending on jurisdiction.
The real problem is not so much "what if's" but common sense stuff with what are clearly children engaging in sexual activity - basically clear cut CP.
It is even acknowledged by IWF that CP is not part of the "porn industry" - but basically criminal content - and most likely, in the background, even more serious criminal activity with assaults on children.
Yes.. see what you are saying Matt. No.. it's highly unlikely that any court would listen to an expert witness in a CP case claiming an image "could be of a child"
There is normally a considerable amount of evidence to support any prosecution - and this is usually clear cut nasty shit, else they don't even attempt a prosecution.
Can only say my own
- and hard to convey here. If you saw some of the shit law enforcement ended up with (and this is specifically US law enforcement) - you'd prob be kinda shocked - even tho you are in the adult biz. There are no levels to what adults with an "inclination" will go to as regards children - CP is only one issue - usually the product of other offenses which range from raping babies (one was six months old) to murder. The impact of offenses in children is so damned damaging - it's unbelievable.
