BTW, that includes Samantha Fox and a host of other 17-year-old models who posed topless for Page Three of The Sun (British tabloid newspaper) in the 1970s and early 1980s which by itself illustrates how the ideological status of a picture can shift from mainstream 'blokey' legitimacy to the unmitigated evil of 'child porn' within the space of a generation. Both are assumed to be 'victims of commercial sexual exploitation'. Then you could reference the ten-level scale used in the UK, the relevant parts of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Protocol on Child Prostitution and Pornography - noting that the two are lumped together, and that a 'child' is defined in international law as anybody aged under 18, with no distinction between a 17-year-old and a 7-year-old who pose topless in front of a camera.
