Just as a small update.

Most of the works by Henson that were the most controversial were sent to the Classifications Board. This is government body responsible for age and appropriateness classifications for Films and other publications. After reviewing the photos, the board gave them a PG rating. Basically, suitable for viewing by persons of any age provided a parent or guardian can put the content in a context for children. This is the lowest classification in the country.

Because of this, the Director of Public Prosecutions (I think that's the same as a district attorney. They're the people who decided whether a case can go to court or not) advised the New South Wales police that the charges against Henson wont hold up in court and so all charges against Henson have now been dropped.

It's nice that sanity ended up prevailing in the end, and it gives me a bit more confidence that the legal system here actually works.
