Victimless crime?
How about you ask those who were abused whether they feel like they are not victimised by people spreading and owning images of their abuse.
The victims are quite obviously real.
- Houshalter 13y agoFor the most part the victims are anonymous and will never know whether the photo is spreading unless they themselves go to the darker places of the internet. I see your point, but looking at a photo of someone without their permission is vastly different than raping them.
- arrrg 13y agoSo you think it should only be a crime if the victims know about it? That seems like a weird and unnecessary wrinkle. And I don’t think most victims have to go to “darker places of the internet” to know, given that they were present when the abuse took place and was filmed/photographed. I would also like to know when I said that raping a child and looking at images of said rape are equivalent crimes. Also, it’s looking at an image of someone being abused, not just an image of someone.
- anonymoushn 13y agoAre all CP images images of abuse? For instance, if two teenagers film themselves having sex, are they both abusing each other?
