    In two anonymous surveys of CSAM consumers in the community, most (50–64 %) reported that they first viewed CSAM by accident, often while searching for other material online (Insoll et al., 2021; Napier et al., Forthcoming). The present study aims to build on this research by examining whether (a) accidental first exposure to CSAM can lead to subsequent intentional viewing and how often this occurs, and (b) first time intentional CSAM viewers are more likely to continue to view intentionally.

    Respondents who intentionally searched for CSAM at first exposure (versus those who said they discovered it by accident) had 2.5 times the odds of viewing CSAM intentionally after first exposure (see Table 2). However, a substantial proportion of accidental first-time CSAM viewers went on to view CSAM intentionally (44.0 %, 167). Specifically, 144 of 284 males (50.7 %) and 15 of 76 females (19.7 %) who first discovered CSAM by accident said they then went on to view it intentionally. Hence, clarifying research question 3, that accidental first-time discovery of CSAM does lead to subsequent intentional viewing in some individuals.

    Accidental exposure to CSAM led to subsequent intentional viewing for a sizeable proportion of respondents. While all genders are exposed to CSAM, males are more likely to be exposed and intentionally view it again after first exposure. Nevertheless, a quarter of female CSAM viewers also viewed CSAM intentionally after first exposure. Intervention initiatives that aim to prevent onset and escalation of CSAM consumption in the community should target all genders and consider the predictors identified in this study.

    There’s your study. You mentioned video games causing violence. Video games may not cause violence, but video games sure cause video games. People who try out a game and like it go on to become gamers. People who see child porn and like it go on to become CSAM offenders. Once a person becomes a regular CSAM consumer, there’s a higher chance they go to the dark web and pay someone for this content. And at that point, we can see genuine harm.












  • Okay, so Troy and Abed, two community college students, told a scary story where two military pilots crash landed in the woods by a mad scientist’s cabin. The scientist (depicted as their elderly friend Pierce) sewed them together while they were unconscious from the crash. But what he didn’t realise is that connecting their brains together gave them psychic powers. So then they did weird surgery on him for revenge. They put his butt on his chest and swapped his hands and feet. This is him after he wakes up from the surgery.





  • Yeah, when leftists talk about defunding the police, we mean that police departments shouldn’t be dealing with situations like that. We should quit wasting money on assault rifles, and instead pay state therapists to be on call for mental health emergencies. Police cannot be adequately trained and equipped for situations like this while also responding to murders and arson and such. The job description is too broad, one person can’t be good at all of those different things. We need to cut the APC budget and put more money into a mental health emergency service.
