How does this even work out?

Person smuggles cocaine - lengthy prison sentence

Person looks at images of children - nothing much happens

What gives?

Keeping or trying to access child pornography is a crime. I think in every civilised country it's dealt with long imprisonment. Never heard of any cases where this gets dealt with easy hands.

Smuggling cocaine/brown sugar or other stuffs is a serious offense. Pretty much entire cociane business is related to slavery, forced prostitution, child prostitution, murders, economic frauds etc.

For possessing a little cociane one doesn't get lengthy imprisonment. There are other things associated with that which increase the time

Someone had 2000 images and got a 21 month suspended sentence. I think it’s the UK laws that are relaxed. @SW-User

@PaleandPolluted that happened more than two years ago. You don't have the entire details of cases but judging based on a news article. there were some loopholes which his lawyer exploited. And it's a rare ruling. Not sure among thousands of cases why you point out just one case.

My answer still remains same. Pedophile cases are dealt strongly.
