MP calls for violent porn ban

An MP is to call for greater control on violent internet porn sites, following the murder of Brighton teacher Jane Longhurst.
Graham Coutts killed the teacher to "satisfy a bizarre and macabre fantasy" after spending hours viewing images of women being strangled and raped, Lewes Crown Court decided last week.

After he was jailed for life, Jane's mother Liz, from Reading, called for the sites to be banned.

Now her MP, Martin Salter, is to table a Parliamentary Early Day Motion on Monday on the subject, and hopes to get at least 100 MP's to support a ban.

After the verdict, Mrs Longhurst, 72, said: "I feel pressure should be brought to bear on internet service providers to close down or filter out these pornographic sites, so that people like Jane's killer may no longer feed their sick imaginations and do harm to others."

Martin Salter, Labour MP for Reading West, has also arranged for Miss Longhurst's family to meet Home Secretary David Blunkett, to discuss ways to limit access to violent porn sites.

Graham Coutts, 35, of Waterloo Street, Hove, had denied murdering Jane Longhurst, 31, in March last year.

But the jury ruled Coutts strangled Miss Longhurst for his own sexual gratification.

Unusual step

Evidence produced during the trial showed Coutts had spent hours viewing violent images before and after killing Miss Longhurst, and again before dumping her body on 19 April.

Coutts said he had been using the internet to look for images involving asphyxial sex and strangling for about eight years.

Jane Longhurst's partner, Malcolm Sentance, and one of the jurors in the case, John Sawyer, also spoke out after the trial.

Mr Sawyer said he had taken the unusual step of speaking out against internet pornography after hearing evidence in the murder trial.

He said: "I've got five daughters and a granddaughter and I just don't want them being another Jane.

"It's got to be possible to ban it.

"Yes, the police are going to struggle because these websites come from all over the world but it has got to be possible, whether it's the provider who is the one who is responsible or what.

"They've got to be able to do something about it."

but it's not porn?

stupid politians call for stupid bannings of many stupid things just so they can get some stupid attention

remove the "stupid" and the sentence will make even more sense...

Calls to block porn are such bullshit. Sites of all kinds are everywhere in the world, they're multiplying... it's the internet, get over it :P


People like the killer will find their stimulation elsewhere.

Asphyxial isnt the safest thing, but it's certainly not about killing each other.

perhaps.

The newspapers in the UK have been full of this story over the last few days.
People who know nothing about the internet saying that all access to illegal sites should be blocked by the ISP's.

The Mail on Sunday newspaper has started a campaign to get these websites shut down.
It's managed to get two of the websites meantioned in the trial more or less closed down.
They contacted all the billing providers and reported the sites, verotel
and paypal and another provider immediately froze the accounts.
Also one site had a checking account pay method so they contacted the webmasters bank and told them
what the bank account was being used for...
The only thing they failed to do was get one of the sites, which was hosted in the Netherlands removed,
the server admin just responded that it was a niche site and the violence was not real.

and now UK police are looking to close down a number of violent porn websites
in association with other countries police forces..
I wouldn't like to own an extreme sex website right now
:Oh crap

I hope this isn't the beginning of something much larger :2 cents:

exactly. Just as I thought a newspaper has clamped on to the cause and now an MP is taking it up. The problem is going to be that the public that will get worked up about this will not see the difference between really violent sites and spanking, bdsm and similar sites. Heck, I wonder what will happen with max hardcore style stuff.

Who will get to decide what is violence and what isn't ?

That sucks...
