UK: Crackdown due on violent web porn
The government is set to announce a crackdown on brutal internet porn to block access to sites depicting rape, strangulation, torture and necrophilia.
Methods used to combat child porn are set to be drawn upon and police officers could be given greater powers.
A Home Office spokesman confirmed an announcement would be made "shortly", following international talks.
British sites carrying illegal sexually violent porn can be closed but images on foreign websites can be accessed.
Discussions on such websites have taken place between G8 countries and internet service providers.
The move comes after Home Secretary Charles Clarke met the mother of 31-year-old teacher Jane Longhurst, from Brighton, who was murdered by Graham Coutts, a friend addicted to sexually violent internet porn.
