Reply to comment by [deleted] in A man from Weare accused of sexually abusing a child is facing more than 85 charges, including multiple counts of manufacturing child sex abuse images by rabblebowser

It's a slippery slope to have no legal difference between "he made a picture drawing of something illegal" and "he did something illegal".

At the end of it, even reporting on or speaking of such a circumstance would be illegal.

edit: remove ambiguity

It's pretty hard to take a picture of something without doing that thing.

"Take a picture", sure. But deep fakes have been a thing for a while, so artificial photographs are a possibility for people who are simply accused of possessing images.

That being said, this case sounds like it's the simple scenario: real pictures that document conduct that is a crime independent of the pictures.
