Regina v Bollingbroke: CACD 16 Aug 2000

Sentences of imprisonment are appropriate for those posting child pornography to the Internet. A sentence of two years was increased to three years. This applied even in the case of a distribution not for profit by someone of previous good character. The Internet is capable of allowing the widespread distribution of material. But sentences for possession and for distribution should not have been made consecutive, since the possession was part and parcel of the distribution.
