British prosecutors have filed obscenity charges against Darryn Walker for writing a story and posting it on the internet. Walker — or at least, someone using the pseudonym Blake Sinclair — posted a story entitled "Girls (Scream) Aloud" to the Alt.Sex.Stories Text Repository (a free site which grew out of the Usenet group alt.sex.stories).
A civil servant who allegedly wrote an internet article imagining the kidnap and murder of pop group Girls Aloud is being prosecuted under obscenity laws.
The prosecution of Darryn Walker, 35, is regarded as a historic test case which could affect censorship of the internet.
Walker allegedly described the kidnap, mutilation, rape and murder of the girl band in a 12-page 'murder blog' posted on a fantasy pornography website.
Experts are claiming the action is one of the most significant obscenity cases since the trial over the novel Lady Chatterley's Lover.
