More than 20,000 images of child pornography are posted on the Internet every week (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 10/8/03).
140,000 child pornography images were posted to the Internet according to researchers who monitored the Internet over six weeks. Twenty children were estimated to have been abused for the first time and more than 1,000 images of each child created (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 10/8/03).
More than half of all illegal sites reported to the Internet Watch Foundation are hosted in the United States. Illegal sites in Russia have more than doubled from 286 to 706 in 2002 (National Criminal Intelligence Service, 8/21/03).
Demand for pornographic images of babies and toddlers on the Internet is soaring (Prof. Max Taylor, Combating Paedophile Information Networks in Europe, March 2003).
More babies and toddlers are appearing on the net and the abuse is getting worse. It is more torturous and sadistic than it was before. The typical age of children is between six and 12, but the profile is getting younger (Prof. Max Taylor, Combating Paedophile Information Networks in Europe, March 2003).
Approximately 20 new children appear on the porn sites every month - many kidnapped or sold into sex (Combating Paedophile Information Networks in Europe, March 2003).
In the last couple of years, we've just seen such young children on regular seizures - babies, 2-, 3-, 4-year-olds (Det. Sgt. Paul Gillespie, Toronto Police Force).
The U.S. Customs Service estimates that there are more than 100,000 Web sites offering child pornography - which is illegal worldwide. Revenue estimates for the industry range from about $200 million to more than $1 billion per year. These unlawful sexual images can be purchased as easily as shopping at Amazon.com. "Subscribers" typically use credit cards to pay a monthly fee of between $30 and $50 to download photos and videos, or a one-time fee of a few dollars for single images. (Red Herring Magazine, 1/18/02)
345% increase in child pornography sites between 2/2001-7/2001. (N2H2 press release, 8/01)
N2H2 reported 403 child porn sites, or 67 per month, for the six months of April to September 2000. Child porn sites rose dramatically for the six months of February to July 2001 to 1,391 or 231 per month. That's an increase of 345% at the rate of about 8 per day. (N2H2 Filtering Service Press Release, 8/8/01)
50 percent of those questioned for the Pew Internet and American Life survey ranked child pornography as the Internet crime that concerns them most. (The Pew Internet and American Life Project Survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates, 4/2/01)
But who are the customers for this filth? I bet most are from the "red states", along with the highest divorce rates, spouse abuse, child abuse, abortions , STD's, etc It could not exist with a market.
Tard, it is never the people you think may be in to it. It is almost always the school teacher, boy scout leader, band leader, the local preacher. It is unbelieveable the extent this this goes to. The vast majority will never do anything except look at the material or collect it, but some will act on children either with or without access to this stuff. The Russian and Chezk mob have been behind it for years. We need to put a hell of a lot more pressure on these countries to put an end to it.
So we are hosting over half the sites world wide and it's a gift from other countries???
If you look into the subject matter, vast vast majority of the crap starts in Europe.. ie the actual children.
regardless of who hosts the sites, the whole thing is sickening. shame we can't nail all the perps and send them "general population" to our maximum security prisons. their dance cards would be full...
When i started reading that stuff I almost seized up...
I cannot believe the sheer numbers of frickin' perverts out there.... gawd........
The typical age also shocked me. What kind of sick SOB likes to look at 6 to 12 year olds?!?![:'(][:@]
I was thinking it would be more like girls that are aren't quite 18 or 21 or whatever the rule is that lie about their age.
BTW, Ginsburg belongs in a nut hut. I've read enough of her opinions in Constitutional Law to throw up. Some justices are more annoying than others, and Ginsburg is one of the ones that annoys me.
