The publication is a Computer Moving Image File stored on a writable CD-ROM. The publication promotes and supports the exploitation of children for sexual purposes. It does this by presenting an adult woman engaging in sexual conduct with a young girl. The publication condones and legitimises sexual conduct involving children by presenting children as sexually active, willing and viable sexual partners. The classification of this publication interferes with the freedom of expression as set out in s14 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. This outcome is consistent, however, with Parliament's intention in the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993 that publications that promote and support the exploitation of children for sexual purposes are objectionable. tmpC81B
