Internet child porn more pervasive, accessible

An Internet safety expert says while child pornography has become a multi-billion dollar commercial business, there's insufficient funding for law enforcement officers who are attempting to track down child pornographers and pedophiles.

FBI director Robert Mueller recently told a House Judiciary Committee hearing that U.S. law enforcement is losing the battle to combat child pornography and child exploitation on the Internet. He stressed the need to grow and fund task forces within the U.S. that are pursuing online child predators.
 
Cris Clapp is a research analyst at Enough is Enough, a group founded to protect children and families from the dangers of illegal Internet pornography and sexual predators. She says the Internet has opened up a new frontier for people who want to exploit young children by trading and selling images of them.
 
"In the past, before the Internet existed, we knew that these child pornographers and predators traded magazines or images -- so we partnered with the U.S. Postal Inspection Services, for example, to be able to track [down] those sorts of images .... But now, through the Internet, you have anonymous and instant access to all sorts of information; and unfortunately, this has opened the door for people to have instant access to the worst sorts of forms of child pornography," Clapp contends.
 
Clapp contends the government has been reluctant to prosecute obscenity cases because self-proclaimed "free speech" groups have been winning court battles.
 
"The biggest issue here is that, as this child pornography is exploited -- as we have seen, it has become this multi-billion commercial business -- there is so little funding for the law enforcement officers who are trying to track these pedophiles and these child pornographers down. So we are absolutely trying to advocate increased funding for this important work," Clapp points out.
 
According to Clapp, child porn has become more pervasive because of a "growing problem of sex in the culture" (see related article) and a lack of obscenity enforcement by the Justice Department.
