Materials that are considered to be Child Pornography generally include pictures and visual images of children engaged in sexual behavior and/or images that depict children without clothes. This type of sex crime is classified as both a state and federal sex crime, and is pursued aggressively by both the U.S. Attorney and the District Attorney’s office. Recently, the scope of what is thought to be pornographic has been expanded to now include different characterizations of these images, and can even include things like cartoon pictures.

Both federal and state law enforcement agencies have made it their mission to stamp out perpetrators of this kind of sex crime, and may focus not only on the producers of these materials, but also the individuals who buy these images. For example, Law enforcement agencies can raid a company that produces and sells Child Pornography. Through credit card records, they may locate the people who purchased the materials and arrest them as well.
