Child pornography has been defined
under federal statute as a visual depiction of a minor (child younger
than 18) engaged in sexually explicit conduct ( 18 U.S.C. 2256)
The Possession, Manufacture, and
Distribution of Child Pornography Child pornography has been
defined under federal statute as a visual depiction of a minor (child
younger than 18) engaged in sexually explicit conduct ( 18 U.S.C.
2256)
The Online Enticement of Children For Sexual
Acts Use of the Internet to entice, invite, or persuade a child
to meet for sexual acts, or to help arrange such a meeting, is a
serious offense (18 U.S.C. 2425)
Child Prostitution Prostitution is
generally defined as performing, offering, or agreeing to perform a
sexual act for any money, property, token, object, article or
anything of value (18 U.S.C. 2431, 2423(a).
Child-Sex Tourism. It is against the
law for any United States citizen to travel abroad to engage in
sexual activity with any child under the age of eighteen (18 U.S.C.
2423b). Individuals who partake in this illegal activity are subject
to prosecution in the United States even if they committed the crime
on foreign soil.
Child Sexual Molestation (not in the
family) Child sexual exploitation (not in the family), also known
as extra-familial child sexual abuse, includes all sexual
exploitation of a child by someone other than a family member.
Unsolicited Obscene Material Sent to a Child It is an unfortunate reality of the Internet that children will encounter obscene material online. Many times, this material is attached as an image(s) or hyperlink(s) sent to a child in an unsolicited email or "spam".
To combat this problem, NCMEC takes reports on unsolicited obscene material sent to a child. It is a violation of criminal law for any person to knowingly or attempt to send or transfer obscene material to another individual who has not attained the age of 16 years (18 USCA 1470).
Please report any incidents where a child may have received visual depictions of persons engaging in sexually explicit conduct that is obscene.
If you are an adult who is concerned about adult obscenity not involving children on the Internet, please make a report to www.obscenitycrimes.org
