The existing law already criminalises images where nobody has been harmed; photoshop a girl's head and torso onto a woman's nude lower body and you have created an indecent pseudo-photograph. But proposed changes to the law (see my other comment) could widen the scope for this enormously.

There are two usual arguments for criminalising such material:

- It is liable to reinforce paedophile tendencies.

- It is used for grooming children prior to sex abuse.

I am not sure how much the first argument has been validated (the counter-argument is that it could act as a relatively benign substitute) but the second does seem to be a serious concern.
