An offence of possessing an indecent photograph of a child contrary to the Criminal Justice Act 1988 s.160 was not a “sexual offence” within the meaning of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 s.85(1)(a) and an extended sentence of imprisonment could not, therefore, be imposed in respect of it.
