There is an article about this case in this month's ETO Magazine in which it states:
"Under British law it is unlikely that McCoy has committed an offence. One possible prosecution that could be brought against him is of Conspiracy to Corrupt Public Morals or to Outrage Public Decency, due to the potential suggestion his book is an advert for the working women. A robust defence would then be that George McCoy is simply providing a guide and not working with or being paid by the women featured [NOTE FROM EDITOR: he gets "free" sex sessions from the women he lists though which could be seen as being paid if the prosecution knows about this practice of his].
Should the police pass a file to the CPS, there would still be the question whether a prosecution would be in the public interest. Additionally Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, on Freedom of Speech, is taken seriously by British courts and is protected by law. Put plainly, free expression cannot be suppressed merely because a publication might offend sensibilities. The question 'Does this publication outrage public deceny?' is one for a jury and the threshold for guilt is typically very high as seen in the recent Michael Peacock BDSM DVD case."
