'''Results of Incident:''' The police investigated the circumstances around the production and ownership of the image. The case was dropped as there was insufficient evidence to justify proceedings. The photograph had already been investigated in 2001 when it was part of another exhibition at the Saatchi gallery in London and was found to not be indecent.
