It may seem subtle, but it is a huge distinction. Blurring this sort of line is a tried & true method of abrogating the rights of the innocent and uninvolved by setting new legal precedents.

But yes, there is something very, very wrong here, to say the least.

1. Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal.
2. The presentation or production of this material.
I would say that his producing a home made pornography pic comes under no. 2. He took photos of two young girls known to him and transplanted their heads onto some sort of lesbian action shot.

Anyway, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree or we're going to get moaned at for disrupting the thread with semantics. Shall we just leave it at "he's a nonce"?
