    "this is a joke"? and you want advice? or you mean its not a joke? hmmmmm

    well anal sex isnt illegal, the age has been lowered to 16 recently hasnt it? and it was 18 before that so i dont know where you get the idea from that hes gonna get life and be put on the sex offenders register for intending to watch some gay sex. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/confused.gif"&gt;

    Just because the age of consent will be lowered,doesnt mean that you can have anal sex..According too his laywer ANAL SEX/BUGGERY is legal,as you can be chaged?/Im asking if anyone knows what law can help his case..As in 1997 @ The court of appeal in LONDON @ young shop ass,who happened to work in a shop in soho lost his appeal,due to this law that the CPS brough up,His was found guilty as too being the person who worked in the show and as the videos contented anal/buggery scenes(It didnt matter if he seen them or not)As he was the person selling them in the shop,There he was charged,Not the onwer of the shop,but him the worker>>?He got 12 months in prison..Thats why I need too know if the court were within theyre rights??I dont think so,But this is this case that the CPS keep using too convict people,As,also the police will on most cases do,pick on gay people,as he will shock a jury having too watch these in court,making them watch 2 men having intercourse,than male/female having intercourse,Most gay men just plead guilty..

    I'd guess they're pursuing him under our obscenity laws, which are absolutely hopeless. Coviction will probably mean he gets onto the sex offenders register.

    Last I checked, gay sex was only legal between 2 consenting men IN PRIVATE (and the definition of PRIVATE was quite amazing.

    really sorry to hear it, I assume he got one of the gay rights lawyers?

    All i know is that anal sex was actually illegal for many years until very recently, i think either '97 or '98

    I wouldn't have thought that they could put him on the sex offenders list coz he didn't commit a major offence and also he had the videos in his house for his own private use and the people in the video were consenting adults.

    In the case u mentioned about the shop worker being imprisoned for selling porn videos, the courts were allowed to imprison him because he 'knowingly' sold illegal material. I would have thought they would have also charged the shop owner as well?? But 12 months prison seems really exteme.

    If u want advice phone the helpline DaBrainz gave, also why aren't u asking his lawyer these questions? Surely his lawyer is the most qualified person to answer your questions? If u don't find his present lawyer to be very helpful could he get a different lawyer?
    As u get a jury at crown court hopefully he'll get open minded people hearing his case. Couldn't his lawyer use the Human Rights Act in your friends defence?
    Good luck.

    I know that anal sex is illegal in Ireland... or maybe it was scotland...

    I really hate this country as far as the laws on sexual videos go. Yes there are extremes and limits, but... still they are being a bit tight!

    I think recently a new certificate was released the new "18R" certificate, its blue and certifies hardcore videos for sale in sex shops.

    My information however is not 100% accurate, so if anyone else can elaborate on what I've said please do so... but I'd recommend phoning that number Karla posted mate.

    She doesn't have a body,
    We flushed it down the potty,
    and round and round it goes,
    and round and round it goes

    if they don't get him under the indecent exposure (believe me the can) or the sex offenders act could come into play.

    I think mainly what they will try and do, or if they want to save face all around is go for a contract dispute, he entered into a contract knowing it to be illegal, said and done!

    I have always said that I want people to be happy... even if I am not the one who is making them happy, its just how I feel when I know they are happy.
