The conviction was unsafe and had to be set aside because the Magistrate reached and relied upon an unsupported factual finding that a downloaded photograph depicted a person's thighs (a finding the appellate judge could not sustain) and then used that erroneous fact to infer guilt; additionally the Magistrate failed to address and rule out the appellant's asserted accidental conduct despite his clear record, rendering the verdict unsafe.
