When we consider an issue like child pornography, we need to understand that issue. A recent poll showed that most people in the United States know little about child pornography and understand little about it. They are surprised when they learn that child pornography is the tool of choice used by child molesters and pedophiles to entice young children into sexual activity. They also are unaware that most sexual pedophiles, sexual predators, possess child pornography that is usually on their person or found in their homes. They also, in fact, ask very often how does child pornography, how is it even created? How does it begin? Mr. Chairman, we can answer all three of those questions with one answer, and that is, and the final report of the Commission on Pornography outlined this, why sexual predators use pornography, why they always possess it, how child pornography is created.
