	Child pornography: an international perspective
		Child pornography is to be distinguished from "child erotica" which is "any material relating to children that serves a sexual purpose for a given individual." Id. at 26.
		Child erotica is not illegal but is frequently used by prosecutors as corroborating evidence in cases against child molesters Some experts distinguish "sexual molester" or "abusers" from "sexual exploiters" employing the term "sexual exploitation" to describe only commercial interactions or to distinguish extra-familial abuse from that which occurs within the family.
		Child pornography is criminalised in the United States because it represents "the permanent record of the sexual abuse or exploitation of an actual child." Lanning, supra note 3, at 24.

	Child pornography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "child" is defined for this purpose by each country's child pornography laws, and these laws also set forth criteria to use in determining whether a particular depiction of a child is child pornography.
		Under United Kingdom law, a "child pornography" image is an "indecent photograph of a child"; there is no specific requirement of sexual content, as nudity can be sufficient for an image to be indecent.
		She wrote: "I was scorned by my friends, accused of child pornography and fired from my teaching job after exhibiting photographs of my son, my husband and my father in law in the nude." (14850 magazine, March 1994).

		The legal status of child pornography is straightforward - visual depictions of children under 18 engaged in sexual conduct are illegal.
		When children are shown in pornography there is no need to debate "serious value" or to apply "community standards." That’s because the first victims of child pornography are always the children who appear in it.
		Child pornography is the photographic record of child abuse, and government clearly has the authority to protect children.

	Category:Child pornography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term child pornography usually means works that center around sexual behaviour of children.
		Because production of child pornography is a crime in many jurisdictions, the decision on what constitutes it often needs to be done in each separate case by experts, judges or community members.
		Because the laws and community standards vary greatly, there is no consensus on precise definitions of pornography and child, which results in further confusion.

	Child Pornography on the Internet
		According to the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, "child pornography consists of photographs, videotapes, magazines, books, and films that depict children in sex acts, all of which are illegal.
		The very existence of child porn is considered 'contraband,' or illegal because the very act of photographing a child in any sexual context is abusive." The Internet has become an increasingly vast area where those involved in child pornography have found their niche.
		Pornography, especially child pornography, is used by pedophiles for three reasons: (1) to stimulate themselves; (2) to destroy the consciences and lower the inhibitions and resistance to sexual activity in their intended child victims; (3) to teach a child what to model in the sexual encounter with the adult.

		Generally speaking there are two categories of pornography: soft core which is not sexually explicit but involves naked and seductive images of children and hard core which relates to images of children engaged in sexual activity.
		The most obvious use of child pornography is to aid in sexual arousal and gratification.

	Federal Bureau of Investigation - Congressional Testimony
		In short, child pornographers, who consisted of 49 of the 62 subjects, were responsible for the vast majority of the 1,433 victims reported for that group.
		The child pornography typically depicts a child of the same age as the Agent's cover having sexual acts with an older man. The purpose behind this is clearly to lower the inhibitions of the person the offender believes is a child and to convince the child that the activity is fun and acceptable.
		Therefore, despite the overwhelming probability that images of child pornography do come from real children, the inability of an expert to state as a matter of scientific certainty that a given image seized from a defendant's computer is a picture of an identifiable child, will severely undermine our ability to bring these perpetrators to justice.

		Child pornography is something else; it pushes all kinds of emotional hot-buttons in me. Certainly I would agree with the majority that anyone who exploits children in a sexual manner is committing a serious offense, deserving of harsh punishment.
		(Virtual child pornography is images that appear to be of children having sex, but which are in fact made-up, simulated by the miracles of modern computer graphics).
		I think a strong case could be made that it should not be illegal for someone to possess images of ACTUAL child pornography: The crime has been committed by the person exploiting the children, not the person viewing the picture.

		Section 2 defines child pornography using the "virtually indistinguishable" language and section 4 prohibits even possession of an image that is "virtually indistinguishable." The provision in section 5 is less problematic because it is geared towards the use of the material to facilitate a crime, and thus, the reality of the visual image is immaterial.
		The purpose of the provision is to afford a defense to one who is not, in fact, engaged in child pornography.

		The lab contacted the local police, who found the pictures "over the line" and arrested the mother for, among other things, snapping in the same frame with her daughter a showerhead, which the prosecution apparently planned to relate somehow to hints of masturbation.

		In other words, if a convicted child molester is dangerous enough to be on one of those registries, he or she should be in prison, not on a list.
