Presumably Google performs a search of image descriptions and surrounding texts, and gives results showing where other sites host the images. I don't think that Google hosts these images itself - but it would be interesting to see if the IWF would take the enormously public step of blocking access to Google in order to block access to a particular file.
On the other hand, the IWF removed even the Wikipedia version of the file from the blacklist... So most likely they won't do anything about Google.

I made an anonymous complaint to the IWF against google last night as google.co.uk definitely hosts these images as an image search of Virgin killer makes abundant and targeting wikipedia is not fair.
I hope this helped tip the balance.
As someone committed to not having pedophile activism promoted on wikipeia I fully agree with Gerard that blocking the VK article text, which in no way advocated child porn
