[2011] EWCA Crim 1762

It was not appropriate to impose a term of imprisonment for public protection on an offender convicted of making, distributing and possessing indecent photographs of children, where the link between the children and the offender was an indirect one and not sufficiently close as to trigger the high level of risk required for the imposition of such a sentence.
