Also that having it found in someone's browser cache could cause them to be barred from various types of employment for life. And additionally the same would be true if the image was embedded on a wikipage which someone clicked on.
The file doesn't exist anymore, so that's hardly a problem. I don't know 
the original image but if it was an image of a 16 year old that's not 
"child pornography". It's illegal and I agree that it's illegal for a 
good reason, but it's not sexual child abuse. And every legislation that 
deems a single image of a naked underage girl in your cache illegal or 
would lead to a lifetime employment barring is plain moronic. The 
internet is full of this stuff. Nota bene: not full of "child abuse", 
but full of material of biologically mature, but underage individuals 
("amateur" porn).

As the amount of consumed non-professionally produced porn grows, the 
probability to encounter underage porn approaches 1.
