Child Pornography and Exploitation

1-800-733-7902

Child pornography aims to stop the abuse and exploitation of children. The laws are stricter than ordinary obscenity laws. There are no “tests” or exceptions, and “community standards” aren’t involved. If the pornography involves children, it’s illegal, plain and simple. Under federal law, child pornography or “kiddy porn” generally is any photograph, film or computer-generated image that shows a minor (someone under 18 years old) engaging in “sexually explicit conduct.” The law gives numerous examples of what qualifies as sexually explicit conduct. It’s a federal crime to have, to make, to sell or to distribute, or look at child pornography (if by looking at it you wanted to be sexually aroused). In addition, anyone charged with having or distributing child pornography has to prove that the materials in their possession were not made with and do not show real children. It’s also a crime to offer to sell, to trade or to buy child pornography.
