Myles Jackman - Criminalisation of Extreme Pornography
Description changed:
Myles Jackman - @ObscenityLawyer - will be talking about how criminalising possession of extreme pornography victimises sexual minorities. We have seen recent cases of young people being prosecuted for owning and sharing images of themselves. Miles will highlight how the laws around possession of sexual images are (mis)used by the police.
Myles was the Law Society Junior Lawyer of the Year 2012-2013 and is the only solicitor in the country specialising in sexual liberties and obscenity law. He successfully represented Simon Walsh in his #PornTrial prosecution (for the alleged possession of “extreme pornography”) and Michael Peacock in his #ObscenityTrial prosecution (for the alleged publication of “obscene” articles).
