WASHINGTON, April 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In the second of her special series on the growing relationship between child porn and “adult” porn, Concerned Women for America’s Jan LaRue reveals pornographers are increasingly turning to graphic, hard core material featuring young teenagers in an effort to expand their industry.
In her hard-hitting, well-researched expose La Rue states, The “adult” porn industry paves the road, operates the toll gates, and cares nothing about who’s wrecked and ruined along the way. She later adds and proves that, “The consequences to kids couldn’t count less to an industry driven by insatiable greed and depraved indifference.”
One company that specializes in “teen porn,” Extreme Associates, lists 38 DVDs on its Web site with “teen” in the title. Extreme Associates is facing charges of distributing obscene materials through interstate commerce.
The pornographic film industry has its own trade journals and awards. Adult Video News [AVN], presented its “Best Vignette Series” awards for 2003 and 2004 to Hustler magazine, considered by many even in the industry to be at the bottom of the pile, for its “Barely Legal” series that featured young girls meant to look underage.
One porn industry insider, Paul Fishbein, president of Adult Video News, quoted by CWA lamented the “decline” of the porn industry into child and teen material. “Why does the industry need to simulate child pornography by depicting 18-year-olds, or even 25-year-olds, as underage?” he said.
A porn producer admitted, “We make the girls look as fresh and as cute and cuddly as possible – ‘adorable cupie dolls,’ I call it – and of course, like they just turned 18.”
Many studies have shown that child pornography is a significant contributing factor to child molestation. In Toronto, Michael Briere, the murderer of Parkdale teen Holly Jones, was found to have a large store of child pornography at the time of his arrest in 2004. Briere admitted that it was after using internet pornography that he abducted Holly.Â
Dolina Smith, President Canadians Addressing Sexual Exploitation (CASE), said, “Obviously pornography pervades our society and it has gained wide acceptance. We want to win the child porn battle. We have not (yet) reached the point where society accepts child porn, and we don’t want to let it go to the point where we accept the abuse of children.”
