JK made a valid point though, Angel. If looking at an image of someone who's been stripped naked or raped makes you an accessory to the offence, then surely looking at an image or video of someone who's been murdered also makes you an accessory. Same with reading about such things.
If Glitter looked at an image of an abused child, that child still has the opportunity to put the abuse behind them and live some sort of life. But if Glitter had killed someone then they no longer have that opportunity to live any kind of life. Thus, killing someone must be worse. So why are people suggesting that looking at images is worse than committing murder?

Lovely retort. Made me smile.

Put down that Agatha Christie novel Angel, you accessory to murder you.
Or, of course, if you prefer reality you can always read the News of the World.
Pleasure? Whoa!

That really amazed me. Do we actually believe that posessing images, no matter how explicit, can be worse than taking somebody's life?
Obviously some people do - which means that they don't value life that highly.
That would depend on the content wouldn't it? Images can involve torture or even murder. Suffering for the sake of someone elses pleasure is a crime If you choose to view aren't you an accessory?
