Child porn consumers safe from prosecution in the Czech Republic
Austrian police busted a huge international pornography network involving more than 2,360 suspects from 77 countries. Sixty-three Czechs were among those who downloaded child-porn from paid-web sites but shockingly enough the Austrians can expect little cooperation from the Czech police.
The Czech Republic is one of the few countries in Europe where it is not a criminal offence to download or possess child pornography which means that the suspects will get off scot-free.
While members of the porn network in other states can expect to spend at least two years in jail, the sixty three Czech paedophiles have nothing to worry about. Under Czech law only the production and distribution of child-porn is considered a criminal offense. Sex therapist Petr Weiss explains why he feels that this is legitimate:
"Every civilized country protects children from premature sex and so the production of child porn is, of course, punishable. But on the other hand, child porn can help pedophiles to fulfill their deviant needs on the fantasy level and therefore they do not need to put into practice their pedophile urges. So abuse of children may actually decrease with the use of child porn."
However the demand for child porn is what keeps the wheels of the child porn business turning and more and more children are being abused or even killed in the process. Petr Weiss says that with present day technology there are other options which would help pedophiles and protect children.
