Child Molesters and Internet Pornography
The Child Pornography Prevention Act expands federal powers over the distribution and possession of child porn. Penalties require a five year prison sentence for each offense. The production of computer-generated child pornography or any visual simulation of a child involved in a sexual act can requires a stiffer sentence, up to thirty years in prison. Child molesters and child pornographers are using a new technique called morphing. This technique allows different bodies and faces to be morphed together. So these molesters/pornographers can use the body of an adult participating in a sexual act and place a child’s head on to it. This is illegal and is considered computer-generated child pornography. Child molesters that are trying to seduce children of the Internet may send them videos. Some of these morphing videos initially show an adult engaged in the sexual act, but the bodies and faces begin to morph into child pornography.
Just having child pornography, of any kind, is a felony. Sending child porn to another child is also a felony. If your child is sent a video or any pictures that pornographic by nature you should contact the police. Do not delete the items off the computer, because the police will need the information.
