Out of curiosity what .ual offences are illegal here with 17 year olds
but not 18 year olds. I know possessing .ual pictures of a 17 year old
is a crime but that is a crime regardless of where the picture is taken.
So what actual crimes are they talking about, someone who had pictures
abroad but didn't bring them back?
