A man addicted to violent porn websites has been convicted for the second time of murdering a teacher.Legislation to ban such sites is going through Parliament, but a small group of otherwise law-abiding people say the changes will criminalise them.Coutts lied throughout police interviews and two trialsJane Longhurst's killer Graham Coutts admitted he was addicted to violent pornography websites.The 39-year-old musician had downloaded hundreds of images of women being raped and strangled as well as pictures purporting to show necrophilia.Coutts was found guilty of murder in 2004 but the conviction was quashed on a technicality.'Acting out a fantasy'His second trial at the Old Bailey, which jailed him for life, heard he was a regular visitor to websites depicting extreme material.He accessed these sites only hours before killing Miss Longhurst and again in the weeks that he kept her body in a self-storage facility in Brighton. Jane would still be here if it wasn't for the internet Malcolm Sentance, boyfriend Man guilty of teacher murder His barrister, Christopher Sallon QC, asked him at one point: "The suggestion is you were acting out a fantasy from a pornographic image that you accessed with the internet? Were you charged up and sexually aroused by Jane Longhurst, dead, with a ligature on?"Coutts denied it. But then he had lied about so much else, including his claim she had agreed to sex on the day she disappeared and acquiesced when he suggested a sex game involving her being partially strangled with a pair of tights.After the original trial Miss Longhurst's mother, Liz, organised a petition of 50,000 people and succeeded in persuading the home secretary to introduce legislation banning the downloading and possession of violent or "extreme" pornography. The current fears around the possible impact of 'violent pornography' on the internet seem very similar to previous 'moral panics' Dr Meg Barker She said: "I feel pressure should be brought to bear on internet service providers (ISPs) to close down or filter out these pornographic sites, so that people like Jane's killer may no longer feed their sick imaginations and do harm to others."Ms Longhurst's former partner Malcolm Sentance said at the time: "Jane would still be here if it wasn't for the internet."The ban was included in the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, details of which were announced by the government last week.The Bill has yet to be debated by Parliament but there is growing opposition to the clause among a small but vociferous community who say they will be criminalised.The community, comprising people involved in bondage, domination and sado-masochism (BDSM), has organised a petition against the new legislation, which 1,800 people have signed.Deborah Hyde, of the pressure group Backlash, argues that perverted predators like Coutts will always exist and no amount of "kneejerk" legislation would prevent them from killing. 'Not good law'She said the vast majority of BDSM people believed in consensual activities and would not wish to inflict actual harm on their partners. They did not want to view snuff movies or actual cruelty but would be criminalised for watching pornography which was acted out by actors.Ms Hyde said the government had already widened the description of "extreme" pornography to include some gay porn.She said: "The government is trying to put us in the same category as rapists, murderers and paedophiles. "I want to make the world a safer place but this law will not help. It is not good law and it is being rushed through. There is a lot of research which says that giving access to this sort of material actually reduces crimes against women."Liz Longhurst does not want another family to suffer as she hasHelen and John, who live in the Midlands, are opposed to the legislation. They say they are in a loving relationship which just happens to involve domination and submissiveness.Helen said the government was overreacting to the Jane Longhurst case: "The supply of BDSM stuff has gone up hugely but there is no killing spree. If all this violent pornography is causing people to go psycho where are all the damaged people?"Do you ban alcohol just because some people are alcoholics?" Dr Meg Barker, a senior lecturer in psychology at London South Bank University, said: "The current fears around the possible impact of 'violent pornography' on the internet seem very similar to previous 'moral panics' there have been from penny dreadfuls in Victorian times, to horror comics in the 1950s, to video nasties in the 1980s.""Images of consensual, or fictitious, acts between adults should not be criminalised," she said, adding that there was evidence that "kinky" and S&M activities were on the increase among "normal" heterosexual couples.But Labour MP Martin Salter, who has worked closely with Mrs Longhurst in pushing the legislation, rejected the BDSM community's claims their civil liberties were being undermined.'Unbalanced mind'He said: "No-one is stopping people doing weird stuff to each other but they would be strongly advised not to put it on the internet."At the end of the day it is all too easy for this stuff to trigger an unbalanced mind."The legislation is designed to tackle porn in the internet ageMr Salter, MP for Reading West, said: "These snuff movies and other stuff are seriously disturbing. Many police officers who have to view it as part of their job have to undergo psychological counselling."He insisted the law did not ban anything which was not already illegal under the Obscene Publications Act."It simply plugs a hole in the law because the Obscene Publications Act is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard as far as the internet is concerned. This new law is designed to meet the challenge of the internet."But Ms Hyde said the Obscene Publications Act targeted the producers while the new act would criminalise the consumers.

In September 1975 the cover of the French society weekly ParisMatch featured three bemused-looking nuns standing before an advertisementfor the pornographic film Julia et les hommes (Julia), the image accompaniedby the headline "La France Porno." Inside, a (fully illustrated)special report agonized over the "wind that has come to sweep away oldtaboos." According to the magazine, this wind originated in America,with Hugh Hefner and his photogenic entourage the prime culprits:"Eroticism and pornography are spreading, aided with the complicity ofbusinessmen who intend to stimulate weak sectors of industry and with theblessing of intellectuals anxious to hasten the liberation of humanity."(1) To the sensationalist journalists at Paris Match, pornography combined anumber of fears floating in the French imagination in 1975, namely, economicuncertainty, American influence, and the specter of sexual liberation.
The phenomenon was hard to ignore; France experienced an explosionin the production of hardcore pornography in the mid-1970s. (2) At theopening of the decade, French companies produced around twenty-two erotic (orsoftcore) films per year; by 1978 the number of erotic and pornographic filmsproduced reached over two hundred, not counting imported titles. (3) Frenchcinemas were not just screening heterosexual sex. The late 1970s marks thefirst time that pornography featuring homosexual sex could be legallyimported, produced, and distributed in France, a phenomenon that wentunnoticed by the moral crusaders at Paris Match. Gay pornography experiencedits own boom, beginning in 1975 with the import of the American film Good HotStuff (Histoires d'hommes in the French market). (4) Gay liberation haspreviously been understood as a phenomenon of changing political demands andorganization, but through pornographic film we can better understand gayliberation as a broader commercial and cultural phenomenon. (5) Furthermore,these films contribute to our understanding of gay men's responses to achanging political, legal, and moral landscape by the close of the 1970s.
The opening of the decade saw new forms of political activismbeing taken up by gay men and lesbians with a will to transform heterosexistsociety rather than be assimilated into it. (6) This new political militancycontributed to a broader phenomenon of increasing public visibility ofhomosexuality. As in the United States and many other Western Europeannations, this process of gay liberation in France was characterized not onlyby new political organizations more radical than their forebears but also bya burgeoning gay commercial scene in France's urban centers. (7) Thedecade between the relaxation of censorship in 1974 and the onset of theHIV-AIDS crisis constitutes a distinctive period in the development of gaysex on French screens. Despite this intertwining of gay politics and porn,the production and consumption of pornography remain a neglected window intothe history of sexual liberation in the West. (8) The history ofhomosexuality in France is now emerging after a protracted and difficultbirth, and printed erotic material has been integrated into this history,especially the "physique" magazines that marked a more discreetphase in the development of sexual subcultures in France. (9) But early gaypornographic film remains marginalized. In his history of erotic andpornographic cinema in France, for instance, Jacques Zimmer lumps gaypornography together with "snuff' films as an example of depravity.(10) Other work concentrates on the political and legal developments that ledto the regulations for the X rating. (11) Work in film studies has been moreinclusive of pornography, particularly in the ways in which explicit sex hasbeen mobilized by activist filmmaking and more "serious" art housefilmmakers and used in contemporary queer cinema, but that work is lessconcerned with pornography's historical origins and contexts. (12) Lackof wider attention can also be attributed to the inaccessibility of many ofthe pornographic films produced in the period. Filmed on reels of 16 and 32mm film and passed around specialist cinemas, the films are often in a poorstate, and some have been lost entirely. (13) 781b155fdc
