As I recall, in a recent UK court case involving under-age porn, the prosecution entered some of David Hamiltons books found at the defendants home, as evidence of his depravity and as a result of the Crown winning, all Hamiltons books of naked, languid, nubile, soft focus 16 years+ teens on the beach are now illegal in this country. We can sleep safely in our beds.

This is from the wikipedia article
"In 2005 a member of the Surrey Police in Britain wrongly claimed that possessing Hamilton books was now illegal in the UK. Surrey Police were later forced to make a formal apology for the incorrect and unsubstantiated allegations made by Detective constable Simon Ledger (see: British Journal of Photography, September 2005), and admitted that no legally binding decision had been made on the work of David Hamilton."
Is the court case you refer to later than this?

Yes it must be. Seems I didn't hear about the rest of it. Thanks for correcting me.

Perhaps living in a country cottage surrounded by naked young girls- never mind the photos of them!
