A mother whose daughter was murdered by a man addicted to violent internet porn has completed her fight to have such images banned.
Jane Longhurst, 31, was strangled by Graham Coutts, 39, from Hove, Sussex. He was jailed for at least 26 years.
Her mother Liz, from Berkshire, backed by Reading West MP Martin Salter, campaigned for three years to ban violent online porn.
The ban is part of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Possession of sexually violent images will now be punishable by up to three years in jail.
The bill had its final reading on Thursday where it received Royal Assent.
Mrs Longhurst, of Reading, said she was aware that libertarians saw her as "a horrible killjoy".
"Sometimes the freedoms of like-minded, decent people have to be curtailed because of a few others.
"I know some would argue women choose to do this. But I believe a lot of women who have been trafficked are forced to be on these sites."
Crazy world eh

While I feel bad for the mother, and might have similar sentiments were I in her position, I can't say I agree with the court's decision. In America at least it would be extremely difficult to make ownership or production of such material illegal, as long as everyone involved is consenting and of an age to be able to legally do so.

Why not? Parts of OTD are illegal here in the USA.
People seem to presume the constitution means what it says, while in reality much of the pictures posted in that forum are likely obscene and could subject the website to suit/prosecution.
The government hasn't really gone after obscenity that much so people just presume they have more freedom than they do.

I think we should ban stupidity by killing everybody with less than average IQ... eventually, there will only be one person left and all of our problems will soon be over.
Idiots pushing their moral values upon others for the good of society. Please.
