Child Pornography, or kiddie porn, is generally considered to be any image or photograph that shows either an unclothed child or a child in a sexual setting, or both. Because these crimes deal with children, law enforcement agencies, the District Attorney and U.S. Attorney all work together to apprehend perpetrators of every type of sex crime, including spousal rape, date rape, forcible touching and sexual abuse, and prosecute them aggressively. In their efforts to eradicate child pornography, the scope of what is considered to be pornographic has been expanded to include different characterizations of children, including cartoon imagery.

Law enforcement agencies have a tendency to seek out organizations that produce and distribute child pornography. For example, they could raid the organization and obtain information on people who have purchased child pornography. Then they would have the ability to locate and apprehend these individuals as well through credit card records.
