Extreme pornography

Extreme pornography is an umbrella term used in UK law to cover several categories of images which are illegal to possess. Although the legislation varies slightly across legal systems in the UK, extreme pornography broadly covers images which are produced principally for sexual arousal, and which depict extreme or obscene behaviours. Possession involves having ‘custody or control’ over the content.
