    Isn’t an adult pretending to be a child in porn already illegal? That seems like something that would always have been illegal.

      It sounds like that was not actually illegal in the UK, based on the article. However, I am not a UK resident nor expert in porn law.

        In that case is it still legal if they’re not pretending related? Seems that would be the bigger fish here.
