Quite ironic really.
Due to the unusual nature of my case the judge excluded from all the usual mandatory courses during probation.
Convictions included "making of, "possession of", "distribution of" (a few others I can't remember) CSAM. A single P2P file ticks all three boxes.
People always assume the above includes "looking at" however that was not the case. I was interested in metadata and had absolutely no desire to see things which cannot be unseen.
The purpose for acquiring the data was not sexual in nature.
But with no context people always think the worst.
