I have done some research in this area. I will outline how people get involved in child pornography. What happens is that they accidentally come across it on the Internet. They may be horrified and step away and decide it is awful. Often, however, they will go back within a week and they start getting more involved in the imagery. In order to be king, they need to trade material. We have serious cases in Ireland. These can involve fathers, men or people making pornography in order to start trading.
