EU – Commission proposess to revise legislation on child pornography: “(Europa)
The European Commission has adopted two proposals for new rules to step up the fight against trafficking in human beings and child sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and child pornography. These new proposals replace existing legislation which has been in place since respectively 2002 and 2004. The proposal to fight the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children makes it easier to punish those who abuse children by providing criminal sanctions for new forms of abuse like ‘grooming’ – luring children through internet and abusing them, viewing child pornography without downloading files or making children pose sexually in front of webcams. Systems to block access to websites containing child pornography will be developed.
