'''The Incident:''' Schneider's piece exhibited in the Spitz Gallery in Spitalfield's Market, London, during a festival celebrating female writers. The London tabloid, The Sun, published a scandalized article claiming the work was child pornography. Gallery owners became cautious of violating the law and notified Scotland Yard after visitors complained about the images, and one visitor allegedly took photographs of Schneider's piece. | '''The Incident:''' Schneider's piece exhibited in the Spitz Gallery in Spitalfield's Market, London, during a festival celebrating female writers.

A similar case emerged in 2001, when London police threatened to seize photos of photographer Tierney Gearon's children in the nude. In 2001 former culture minister Chris Smith decided that the officers crossed a mark between probity and censorship, and spoke in support of the images. <P> | A similar case emerged in 2001, when London police threatened to seize photos of photographer Tierney Gearon's children in the nude.
