Research conducted by Garda (Irish police) revealed that, in the study period between 2000 and 2004, 44% of child pornography charges in Ireland exclusively involved images which depicted no sexual activity whatsoever.
"“Child pornography had virtually gone away,” recalled Ernie Allen, the president of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children"
A study conducted by Schuijer & Rossen in 1992 found that it was still fairly easy to obtain child pornography without the use of the internet.
"“In the past, if you were purchasing child pornography, you had to worry about sending money through the mail,” said Lt. Joe Donohue of the New York State Police Computer Crime Unit"
The fact that people can access child pornography without purchasing the material must surely help to reduce rates of child sexual abuse. Producers are believed to be motivated by a desire for trade or commercial gain; free, easy and legal access to child pornography would simply remove the demand for new material to be produced.
"[A researcher] noted that her study was a snapshot, not a time study. Over time, she said, maybe [paedophiles'] behavior would change and they would try to facilitate a real-world encounter."
A study by Freel in 2003, which focused on social workers with a sexual interest in children, explained that "If someone is fully inhibited from sexually abusing children, no amount of emotional congruence, sexual arousal, or blockage will lead them to abuse children."
"One of the things that makes online child pornography unique is that once the images hit the Internet, the content can be accessed over and over again."
Adult pornography can be accessed over and over again, as can all other material on the internet.
"“When people access that content, they’re revictimizing the victim again,” Allen said."
This is a logical fallacy. A person who was photographed cannot know whether or when their image is accessed.
When using the NCMEC as a source, it is important to remember that their funding relies upon extreme public concern over child pornography, which introduces the possibility of financially-motivated bias.
