Non-touching child sex abuse does include watching child pornography. I would also add that child sexual abuse can also occur without touching a child. Additionally, when child pornography is watched, it creates a demand for images of children being sexually abused and hence, more children are at risk for being sexually abused by the people who make these images. In essence, two crimes are being committed at the same time - a child being sexually abused and watching a child being sexually abused. Everytime your brother watches child pornography, he is committing a crime. While some people may feel that they are not “abusing” a child by 'just watching' pornography with children, there is a child being sexually abused in any situation where they are the object of an adult’s sexual behaviors.Ĭhild Pornography is the Image of a Crime Being CommittedĪs the sexual abuse of a child is illegal, any image depicting this is an image of a crime being committed. Your question is a very important one, and one that more and more people are wondering about.
