The days of being ridiculed, marginalised and discriminated against by society for being involved in the sex industry seem millions of miles away as Charlie Spice’s resume gets another big boost from the UK government department of Science, Innovation and Technology.

As the Founder/President of the umbrella organisation Adult Industry Association (AIA), Charlie Spice has received an invitation from the government to participate in a round table discussion to review the pornography legislation and enforcement in the UK, to identify gaps in the regulation which allow exploitation and abuse to take place online.

This Independent Pornography Review will also look at how effective the criminal justice system, including law enforcement, is in responding to illegal pornographic content, as well as consider what more can be done to provide information and resources on the potential impact of pornography.

The lead person of this review of the porn industry is Baroness Gabrielle Louise Bertin, a British Conservative member of the House of Lords and political aide best known for her association with David Cameron during his term as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The other members of AIA selected to participate in the round table are Terry Stephens (Porn Producer), Reed Amber (Porn Performer) and Dr. Oliver Carter (Associate Professor in Creative Economies) at the University of Birmingham City. 

In addition to this recent endorsement of his expertise in the sex industry, Charlie Spice also enjoys recognition from the United Nations as an advisor for the development of strategies against Human Trafficking, Child Prostitution and other problems which stem from the global sex trade. Over the past 9 years, Mr Spice has also been called upon to make a contribution to the academic development of students of the University of the West Indies as a guest lecturer on the “Impact Of The Global Sex Trade On The Sustainable Development Of Tourism”.

The round table discussion of the Independent Pornography Review is scheduled for February 19th at 3.00 pm (GMT).

The AIA team welcomes the opportunity to participate in this review of pornography in the UK, as it seeks to foster a secure and flourishing environment for individuals in the sex and adult entertainment industry, both personally and professionally.
