CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

Child pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry and among the fastest growing criminal segments on the internet.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Producers of child pornography try to avoid prosecution by distributing their material across national borders, though this issue is increasingly being addressed with regular arrests of suspects from a number of countries occurring over the last few years.[12][14] NCMEC claims that around 20 % of all pornography contains children.[21]







Child pornography is viewed and collected by pedophiles for a variety of purposes, ranging from private sexual uses, trading with other pedophiles, preparing children for sexual abuse as part of the process known as "child grooming", or enticement leading to entrapment for sexual exploitation such as production of new child pornography or child prostitution.
