Course description
Occasionally the law struggles to keep up with technology. Images of child sexual abuse is a classic example of this in practice. The law covering indecent images of children is spread across several pieces of legislation and case-law has had to undertake some heavy-lifting to ensure the law keeps pace with developments.
This virtual classroom seminar with Clive Smith will take a thorough look at the piece-meal legislation which has been passed to cover the making, distribution, and possession of indecent images. It will look at the important statutory defences and the case-law on what constitutes possession.
Finally, it will consider the evolving challenge of ‘deep fakes’ and artificial intelligence (AI) which is said by police to be providing a significant challenge and distracting them from dealing with cases involving real victims.
