Erotic Web Sites Are Getting Less Traffic & Sales
The national
police campaign against child pornography has been blamed for
a fall in visits to legal Internet erotica sites. Online
erotica suppliers say visits to sites, and sales, have suffered
because consumers are worried about inadvertently downloading
illegal images.
The confusion
has been compounded by a recent court case in Perth in which a
man was jailed despite arguing he was searching what he believed
were mainstream pornography sites when he inadvertently downloaded
images of underage girls. In other cases, prosecutors have used
evidence from pediatricians to determine age where it has been
in dispute. Lawyer John Hammond said legislation allowed police
to prosecute when someone "appeared" to be under 16. "There is
a great deal of difficulty in discerning if some females are under
16 - in some cases it is very marginal," he said.
