Pornography produced by consenting adults engaging in legal acts will no longer be prosecuted under Britain’s historic obscenity laws, the crown prosecution service has announced.
The Obscene Publications Act dates back to 1959 and is designed to protect the public from material that could “deprave and corrupt” their minds. The law was famously invoked in the unsuccessful prosecution of DH Lawrence’s novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover but in recent years has been largely used in cases involving pornography.
However, juries have increasingly taken a liberal view on whether material is likely to corrupt the minds of the British public, making it difficult for the authorities to achieve a successful prosecution. In 2012 a jury cleared “Sleazy” Michael Peacock after a landmark case which saw the court watch hours of DVDs featuring consensual male fisting, urination and BDSM activities before concluding they did not find it obscene.
