2 PLEAD GUILTY IN ONE OF

LARGEST CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY CASES IN US
HISTORY

BY SHARMILAH
 DEFINITIONS
• Define “child,” for the purposes of child pornography, as “anyone under
the age of 18,” regardless of the age of sexual consent.
• The legal age at which a person can consent to sexual activity varies from
country to country, a challenging obstacle to the consistent and
harmonized protection of children from sexual exploitation on the
international level.
• While a person under the age of 18 may be able to freely consent to
sexual relations, such an individual is not legally able to consent to any
form of sexual exploitation, including child pornography.  
• Moreover, in circumstances that require “dual criminality” – when a crime
committed abroad must also be a crime in an offender’s home country in
order for the offender to be prosecuted in his/her home country –
agreement on a common age for what is a “child” is crucial.
• Any discrepancy could prevent a child sex offender from being
prosecuted. For these reasons, “child,” for purposes of child pornography
legislation, should be defined as “anyone under the age of 18 years.”
