Child Pornography is NOT a Victimless Crime

Sometimes public figures, intentionally or not, minimize the responsibility of those who view child pornography and in fact seem to make them the victims, rather than the children who are exploited. Unfortunately, this type of thinking is more prevalent than one might expect. 

The fact is that child pornography always involves the sexual abuse of a minor-- and most often by someone the child knows. The fact is that child pornography is propagated by those who view it. Those who view it may not “touch” a child (a deceptively gentle verb for what is done to these children), but nevertheless they HAVE harmed a child. 

Learn more about the damaging reality of child pornography by spending a few minutes reading the following:

The Impact of Child Pornography: True Stories

One more fact: Possession of child pornography is a felony. If you find child pornography on a computer, REPORT IT to the local police immediately.
