What are the experiences of child pornography victims?
Overview
And how do these experiences affect these victims upon reaching adulthood?
Summary
From a treatment perspective, it is often more difficult to talk about victim empathy with individuals who are internet only offenders that possessed child pornography but do not have hands on offenders. They can have a harder time understanding how they caused harm to the children in the images as they did not create the images but “simply” viewed them.
