Crackdown call on extreme porn after Georgia Williams tragedy
Campaigners today called for a crackdown on pornography featuring violence against women after depraved Jamie Reynolds admitted murdering Shropshire teenager Georgia Williams.
Reynolds, 23, admitted strangling the 17-year-old at his home in Avondale Road, Wellington.
It was revealed that Reynolds was obsessed with violent pornography and had a history of threatening behaviour towards women.
Today Sarah Green, campaign manager of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said extreme pornography freely available on the internet was "normalising the sexual fantasies of boys and young men".
David Cameron pledged in July to add rape to the categories of illegal extreme pornography, bringing England and Wales in line with the law in Scotland. But Ms Green said the Government had failed to define what material would be covered by the ban.
And she said the law should be extended to cover other types of extreme violence.
Reynolds today remains in custody as he awaits sentencing on December 19 after changing his plea to guilty.
This week Stafford Crown Court heard that Reynolds had taken photographs before, during and after Georgia's death. He also stockpiled up to 50 pictures of girls he had found on social networking sites whose heads he had superimposed onto explicit images.
He had also written down his sick fantasies in stories and frequently viewed pornography depicting extreme violence.
It is the latest case to involve men addicted to extreme porn after Ian Watkins, lead singer of the Lost Prophets, was convicted last week of sex attacks on two babies and Mark Bridger murdered April Jones.
Cameron warned in July that access to online pornography was "corroding childhood" and called for "horrific" internet search terms to be blacklisted so that they would bring up no results on search engines.
