Technically speaking if I accidentally teleport into a region and there happens to be a naked child avie there, even if it's not real and even if I didn't actually see it, it'll be cached on my computer and I can be arrested.
Well no. Nothing about the naked child avatar would be cached in a way that would indicate anything. That's a bit overboard on the worry.

Everyone's skins are downloaded to your computer "nude" as is, clothes and such are added on top of the skin layers in the viewer.

If there was child pornography in the area you teleported to then yeah, that would be cached whether you're looking at it or not. But if you happened upon two child avatars roleplaying sex, nothing about that is captured in a way via the viewer that would get you in trouble.
