Pseudo-photographs

It says he was "making" these pictures yet he only got two years? Well if he was making them why wouldn't the sentence be longer? Then again what is a "pseudo-photograph"? Were theres morphed or computer generated images? Did they even involve real kids?


Note that it says he admitted to making such photos, but it doesn't state how many of the 400,000 photos of child porn they found in his possession were "pseudo-photographs". Let's not forget he also had over 15,000 video clips of child porn. The article also didn't say that he was convicted of anything related to the pseudo-photographs.

This page Pseduo-photographs discusses the UK's Protection of Children Act's use of the term "pseudo-photograph". An excerpt follows:

A pseudo-photograph is a photo-realistic image that has been created by non-photographic means. In Blackstone’s ‘Textbook on Civil Liberties’ (now published by Oxford University Press, ISBN 0199255148), Richard Stone says: ...The concern is with the possibility, facilitated by new computer technology, that a photograph can be manipulated so that, for example, a child’s face can be superimposed on an adult’s body, or vice versa, or the appearance of physical characteristics can be altered. The resulting picture may be indistinguishable from a real photograph...


The page is actually pretty long and I haven't read it all. I've read about plenty of people who have edited photos to put an adult's head on a child's body, a child's head on an adult's body, insert a nude photo of themselves into a photo of a child, add male genetalia to a photo of a child, edit a photo so it appears the child is committing a sex act, etc. Along with completely computer-generated life-like images of children that's what I think of when I hear "pseudo-photo", but I'm not sure which fall under the UK's definition.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
