“…For subjects close in age below this boundary, defendants may attempt to credibly assert (perhaps on the basis of a low resolution thumbnail image) that they reasonably believed the subject of the image in question to be legally an adult. Despite substantial technical advances, current digital facial aging software [ 24 ] and human skin tone/texture recognition software [ 25 , 26 ] are not yet sufficiently reliable for this purpose, which means that for the time being the distressing task of “eyeballing” suspected CP images must continue to be carried out by human inspection.…”

A table of 95% confidence limits on the probabilities for randomly downloading relatively small numbers of illegal images or sensitive documents amongst a relatively large number of other images or documents has been computed. It is anticipated that these data will assist prosecution officials in arriving at a decision as to whether or not there is a reasonable likelihood of a successful criminal prosecution when the inadvertent download defence is employed in cases of possession of child pornography, terrorist material or espionage-related documents. The same data can also be used by defence counsels to assess the strength of the prosecution's case.

Child pornography involves the realisation of deviant fantasies with very specific characteristics with regard to its content and use and therefore the legal action needed to deal with it. The internet has facilitated its dissemination and access and complicates the issue but we need to be able to identify and track people who use illegal pornography. This paper is based on a review of the literature and presents some criminological characteristics of child pornography on the internet.
