Viewing Explicit Content Concerns

Summary

Accidental viewing of explicit content involving minors in Germany and Switzerland is less likely to result in jail time if there is no possession or distribution. Legal consequences can still apply, but if no action is taken within 2-3 years, the person is likely in the clear due to the statute of limitations. Consulting a local legal professional is recommended for full clarity.

Remember that the issue does not relate to me so be sure to speak jn * person.
Thank you for clarifying. Could you please provide more details about the legal issue this third person is facing and their location? This will help in giving more accurate information.
If a person is to view porn comics especially Hentai mangas. Then there are many characters that are not clearly depicted as adults or minors and may be minors. ****w if a person is viewing normal porn comics but comes across something like this and views it. Then will the person go to jail. To be noted. The person who viewed this is under * and is not interested in such content and never explicitly searched for something like this except the hentai, however he only viewed it without saving or downloading it and without distributing or sharing it and without creating it. The person merely was on a public browser and searched for the manga when the person realised it is bad. Will this person go to jail just over viewing it? Lastly the person has not ever done a crime in their life and is not interested in such content. To sum up the person only viewed the content without possessing (I.e. to ensure no trace of possession is with them they thoroughly deleted history and then deletd browser app data and cache then they deleted their account and then deleted the browser and then deleted any accounts related to that specific account and then deleted all kinda of images or saved settings and then deleted their device data through a factory data reset) and without distributing I.e to say send it or share it to anybody and without creating such content physically or virtually. So will this person be jailed?
This is a complex situation and can vary based on local laws. Generally, mere viewing without saving, distributing, or creating is less likely to result in jail time, but legal consequences can still apply.

Germany or switzerland i beleive.
In Germany and Switzerland, laws regarding the possession and distribution of explicit content involving minors are stringent. However, mere accidental viewing without possession, distribution, or creation generally carries less severe legal consequences.

Similarily how does a person know he is in a clear for example after how long can the prrson say he has nothing to worry about since the issue is very long ago and the government have not reprimanded them?
In Germany, the statute of limitations for minor offenses related to such content is generally three years. In Switzerland, it can range from three to ten years, depending on the severity. If no legal action has been taken within this period, the person is generally considered in the clear.
Do you need further information on this topic?
So when the issue was about * to 3 years ago and something like that never appened again then the person is safe and clear?

Consulting a local legal professional is recommended for full clarity.
Do you need any more information or have any other questions?
I understand and will explain to the person who has been anxious and depressed because he unknowingly did this.
It's important to reassure the person that if no legal action has been taken within *-3 years, it is likely they are in the clear, although viewing such content might still be considered a crime. For full clarity, consulting a local legal professional is recommended.
Is there anything else you need help with?
Ok thankyou for explaining because the persons health also started to deteriorate and he feels very guilty and depressed.
