Child pornography refers to pornographic material depicting children. The production of child pornography is widely regarded as a form of child sexual abuse and as such these images and videos are illegal in most countries. Some outlaw only production, while others also prohibit distributing, possessing, and accessing child pornography. Prohibition generally covers visual representations of sexual behaviour by children under a given age but may also include all images of nude children, unless an artistic or medical justification can be provided.
Child pornography as child abuse
Where child pornography involves depictions of children engaging in sexual conduct, the production of this material will in itself be legally prohibited as sexual abuse in most countries. The profit that can be made from selling such images is seen as a factor in encouraging the original abuse that is photographed or filmed.
Children's charity NCH have claimed that demand for child pornography on the internet has led to an increase in sex abuse cases.
