Regina v Forbes (Giles): CACD 4 Apr 2000

A person who set out to import pornographic videos, and received packages which hid their true content, was guilty of importing the content, as indecent photographs of children, even if that had not been what was expected. If he knows he is evading a prohibition against importation, he is responsible for what is imported.
