Child porn victim seeks damages from men possessing her image

Melinda Tankard Reist Add comments

child abuse costs

A young woman known as Amy is seeking payment from consumers of pornographic videos and pictures that depicted her abuse.  >more

I hope she -and others like her – extract millions from the men who fuel the demand for  the creation of child sexual assault images.

    A positive shift. I hope that the pornography industry is subjected to heavy fines for promoting child sexual abuse material and the fines are given to the children and to improving the lives of children in general.

    I hope she succeeds. She deserves at least that after what she has been through and continues to go through.

    This is a great start. Hopefully more victims will be able to receive restitution. It would be nice if a portion could also go directly to agencies providing services to victims, such as Sexual Assault agencies.

    Child pornography is not a victimless crime. Consumers of it are ENJOYING the victim’s abuse! Of course their should be tangible consequences for such an act – morally speaking, this is pretty uncontroversial.

    Unfortunately, legality does not always equal morality, as the article reminds us. This is the problem poor Amy is facing. I only hope that morality, not technicality, prevails in her legal case, and that she gets the outcome she so clearly deserves.

    Completely agree that compensation is due – - – how horrendous!

    But no amount of money will heal those wounds.

    We must stop this!
