NSWales police announced on Friday that no child abuse or pornography charges would be laid against photographer Bill Henson or the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery. NSW police decided not to press charges after receiving legal advice from the Director of Public. The decision also followed a ruling by Australia's censorship board—the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC)—that the exhibition photograph that sparked the anti-Henson witch-hunt was "mild" and "not sexualised to any degree".
