@firefly,
Quote:The viewing of such child pornography for sexual arousal--which is only done by pedophiles--harms children and contributes to the continuing production of child pornography.
You make statements that are not likely to be 100 percent true.
Number one being turn on be pictures of fully function and develop males and females even if younger then 18 is hardly being a pedophile.
Let see there was a very famous porn star who it turn out to be 15 or 16 in her first films instead of the age of 18 pluses she was claiming to be.
So any numbers of her movies are now consider child porn but there was nothing of a child concerning her body.
Let me do a fast google search and see if I can find her name.
Oh Traci Lord who star in porn films at 15.
Sorry but no sexual interest in children is needed to run afoul of the child porn laws.

At the age of 15, she was living with her mother's ex-boyfriend, Roger. Posing as her stepfather, he helped her respond to classified ads requesting models. Using a false driver's license ID provided by Roger that stated she was 20 rather than 15,[5] she started in the porn industry with Jim South at the World Modeling Agency in Sherman Oaks, under the name Kristie Elizabeth Nussman.[4]
Shortly after, she was modeling for widely distributed adult magazines, most notably Penthouse, in the same September 1984 issue that exposed Miss America 1984, Vanessa Williams. She quickly ventured into adult movies. Her first movie was What Gets Me Hot!, followed by Those Young Girls and Talk Dirty To Me Part III, all made in the first half of 1984. By the time she was 18, she had appeared in 100 adult films; however, Lords argued in her autobiography that about 80 of those films were composed from leftover and re-edited footage from 21 of her original films.[6]
In late May 1986, authorities discovered she had been underage while making pornographic movies and arrested her, as well as the owners of her movie agency and X-Citement Video, Inc. (See United States v. X-Citement Video.) The ensuing prosecution against the agencies cost the pornographic film and distribution industry millions of dollars, as they were obliged by law to remove hundreds of thousands of her videotapes, films and magazines from store shelves to avoid the risk of prosecution for trafficking in child pornography. (The legality varies with countries. For example, while it is illegal in France to produce a pornographic film involving an actor under 18, the film remains legal.[7])

It does also work in reversed a man was on trial for having a picture of what the experts claimed was clearly the body of an underage female the only problem was that when the defense found her she was able to provide solid proof that she was will over the magical age of 18 when the picture was taken even if her body was not.
