I supposed I could try Wikipedia, but I think I'd get more accurate info here so I have two questions...

1. When did they allow hard-core porn video material legally into the UK? I seem to remember it was always the subject of debate in old Men Only and Club magazines ( and those little ads in the back pages which hinted that they'd supply it to you if you didn't tell the police ! )

2. Is it true that page three type photoshoots ( tits and bum only ) have to use 18+ models now? If that is true, was it part of a European Union agreement or something?

I remember a case here in Perth, Western Australia where a 16 year old chick was working as a shop assistant in a sex shop surrounded by porno mags. It turned out to be legal ( at the time ) as long as she didn't actually BUY anything - that would be have been illegal!

I've just come back from Perth ! Answer to question 1 is August 2000 from a court ruling NOT case that took a about a year.

A year! I guess they must have had a lot of evidence to, er.... 'review'.

And yes over 18's only for topless modelling, even Lingerie modelling I think!! But definately for topless

The law on porn here in the UK is as liberal as it's ever been, but there's always room for more liberalisation!!

I haven't been able to find any Legal documents/Laws online, stating the minimum age for modelling, but basically, from the various management/talent agents, scouts, etc I have found online, ANY form of Modelling that requires the lack of outer clothes, I.E. Nude, Topless, Lingerie, etc requires a minimum of 18 yrs.

"i think it must have changed because I think Sarah Young posed for Fiona Cooper naked in the late 1980's before she was 18 and in 1994 Linsey Dawn appeared topless in the Sport on her 16th birthday after a much hyped countdown from them. "

Blind bastard Blunkett changed the law. The age of consent is still 16, but girls cannot pose for glamour shots now until they are 18. So it's OK to fuck them, but if you take their photo you are a paedo perve. Don't blame me, I didn't vote for this shower of fascist crap posing as a government.

Actually no - the BBFC were allowing R18 before 2000.
