Submission + - Australian man raided for "baby swinging video (smh.com.au)
taucross writes: An Australian man was raided by anti-paedophile Task Force Argos for redistributing a video clip of a "swinging baby" on Liveleak. Chris Illingworth, 60, is facing charges of "the exploitation and abuse of children by seeking to view, possess, make or distribute child-abuse or child exploitation material".
The baby in the video is reportedly part of a Russian circus family but Australian law provides the following definition of child-abuse material, which is "any material that shows a person under the age of 18 who is, or appears to be, a victim of torture, cruelty or physical abuse." Illingworth was subjected to forensic examination, mugshots and fingerprinting.
