For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I saw nothing wrong with the previous 'possessing indecent images of children'. Perhaps it could be updated to 'possessing and/or distributing indecent images of children and/or quasi children'.
'Making' suggests rather more than opening an image in a link or downloading an image from a website.
Still a very grave and repulsive offense if done intentionally, a defense if you didn't know know what the link contained and deleted the image straight away.
Naomi, it does not mean 'making' in the sense of having real time contact with a child either in the same room or on a webcam. It means:
Opening an attachment to an email containing an image
Downloading an image from a website onto a computer screen;
Storing an image in a directory on a computer;
Accessing a website in which images appeared by way of automatic “pop-up” mechanism
This is what the law states:
"Making
“To make” has been widely interpreted by the courts and can include the following:
opening an attachment to an email containing an image: R v Smith; R v Jayson [2003] 1 Cr. App. R. 13
downloading an image from a website onto a computer screen: R v Smith; R v Jayson [2003] 1 Cr. App. R. 13
storing an image in a directory on a computer: Atkins v DPP; Goodland v DPP [2000] 2 Cr. App. R. 248
accessing a pornographic website in which indecent images appeared by way of automatic “pop-up” mechanism: R v Harrison [2008] 1 Cr. App. R. 29
receiving an image via social media, even if unsolicited and even if part of a group
live-streaming images of children"
