If it is legal to pose nude at 16 in England, can an American view these pictures if the legal age to pose is 18?

is looking at 16 year olds as bad as killing children in war?

Is it legal for an American to rape women in a country where there are very little laws ?

Depends... if it was sexually explicit or not.

i dont think it's legal to look at

funny how similar countries view some issues very different.

And no Fletch killing children is worse in my books.

It's not illegal in the US as long as it's not considered sexually arousing or what ever the term they use is for it. That's how the pedos get away with that shit calling it artistic work.

There was a proposal to lower the age at which a person could be a porn performer to 16, in the UK.

The law is still 18.

Art nudes of minors are not, in and of themeselves, illegal, but I would never touch them.

:rasta

I dont know for england, but here (Macedonia), everything is legal :) :thumbsup

Right the law states that the child is still a minor and needs Parental Consent. A 16 year old is not old enough to enter a legal contract and that is what a model release is.

So unless you have Mum or Dad's approval you could be in a heap of trouble.

A 16 year old can take part in a gang bang and be filmed doing it, they just cannot sign a model release and you cannot show the pictures to anyone. Showing the pictures to another person is regarded as publishing, in the UK.

In Canada, where I am, you can gang bang a 14 year old girl, and unless you are in a position of authority, such as a teacher, you are breaking no laws. (assuming she is consenting, of course).

But take a porn picture of a girl, 18 yo less a day, and it is kiddie porn. Consent cannot be given to the filming, even by her parents. Possession is a serious crime. As soon as you press the record button on the cam, you are in deep dodo....

What is "porn" vs "art" is a subjective call by the police and the courts. I am paranoid enough that I don't shoot anyone less than 18, at all. Even family wedding pics....

:rasta

You're running behind :Graucho
The law 'recently' changed, it's not legal anymore. They age limit is raised to 18 yo.

I wouldnt want to chance it... 18+ here only

Technically i suppose he shouldn't, but probably could and get away with it

Looking at a nude 16 year old does not make someone a pedophile..

You can legally have sex at 16 but you cannot go public with your body until 18. Been that way for a long time.


Most countries apply this to prevent exploitation.

Erm...Brits can't pose naked at 16, silly people.

true

most brits are much too ugly to pose nude - age doesn't make a difference

That artistic shit really does not work anymore. Nudity under the age of 18 is out - period.

like he said : 18 ... check this

Sexual Offences Act 2003: Key Changes (England and Wales)

The following are pertinent extracts from the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (SOA 2003), which came into force on the 1 st May 2004. This Act will amend the Protection of Children Act 1978 accordingly.



S. 45 Indecent photographs of persons aged 16 or 17.

The Protection of Children Act 1978 ? meaning of ?child? - increased from 16 to 18 years of age

Here are the hard facts from someone who lives in the UK and shoots his own content:

Prior to May 2004 a girl of 16 could pose for nude photo's if her parents were present at the shoot and gave their written consent. It was illegal to pose for porn under 18.

Since May 2004 it is now illegal for under 18's to even pose topless or appear semi clothed, as in ligerie, provocatively and the parents can no loonger sign their consent..

Where the UK is a real arse is that this law is retroactive. This means that anyone found in posession of topless or nude images of models under 18, even if shot before May 2004, when it was legal to do this face legal action.

A model release is not a legal document. This is to show that the model consented to the shoot and gives over all claims to rights of the images from the shoot to the photographer.

My favourite model at the moment:

Thats not true David Hamilton did art photography of young girls 14 and under nude had art books in stores. He does this no more for fear of jail.

1- are you American??
2- age of consent is 14 in Quebec.. so WHO CARES!!! :thumbsup

That's because some judges don't know how to interpret the law...

thats so stupid

Some nuge posing is classified as artistic...I don't know how they classify porn posing from that

no, they cant

I dont think its TOO bad.. personally.

What sikko would want to look at a 16 year old????

I heard some months ago that it was legal for topless (only) photos of 16-17 year old girls to be published in newspapers. I guess the newspaper only requirement was to limit the spread of the material outside of the UK where the laws obviously differed.

If this retroactive law applies then anyone who has an old paper lying around is now in possession of CP?

I did a google search for "UK topless 16 year" or similar to try to find info on this, but all I got returned were pedo site results. :mad:

Hi Alex.. it's not - it's illegal in England.
