Their face will eventually be broadcast on the television show America's Most Wanted: America Fights Back if the unknown child pornography subject is not identified from the website. To date, the ECAP has successfully identified and arrested four previously-unknown child abuse subjects. Innocent Images Statistics. ISPs pressed to become child porn cops - Technology & science - Security. New technologies and changes in U.S. law are adding to pressures to turn Internet service providers into cops examining all Internet traffic for child pornography.
One new tool, being marketed in the U.S. by an Australian company, offers to check every file passing through an Internet provider's network — every image, every movie, every document attached to an e-mail or found in a Web search — to see if it matches a list of illegal images. The company caught the attention of New York's attorney general, who has been pressing Internet companies to block child porn. He forwarded the proposal to one of those companies, AOL, for discussion by an industry task force that is looking for ways to fight child porn. A copy of the company's proposal was also obtained by msnbc.com. Privacy advocates are raising objections to such tools, saying that monitoring all traffic would be an unconstitutional invasion.

Rachel Aviv: The Science of Sex Abuse. On a Saturday night in the summer of 1998, an undercover officer logged in to a child-pornography chat room using the screen name Indy-Girl. Within minutes, a user named John introduced himself and asked her, “Are you into real life or just fantasy?” Indy-Girl said that because of the “legality of it” she had never acted on her fantasies. But she soon revealed an adventurous spirit. She was a bisexual college sophomore, she said, and had learned about sex at an early age. John, a thirty-one-year-old soldier stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, had been using the Internet for less than a year.
“What’s the kinkiest you’ve done?” John had been in the Army for eight years, serving in Desert Storm and Bosnia, and had graduated from Penn State with a degree in history. Unlike other people John met online, Indy-Girl seemed to like him. She preferred to discuss the logistics of their meeting, a subject that John approached hesitantly. April Jones trial: Mark Bridger guilty of murder. The man found guilty of abducting and murdering five-year-old April Jones in a sexually motivated attack must spend the rest of his life behind bars. Mark Bridger, 47, of Ceinws, Powys, said he had accidentally run April over near her Machynlleth home and could not recall where he had put her body. But the Mold Crown Court jury unanimously convicted him in a case lasting four-and-a-half weeks. The judge branded him a "pathological liar" and "a paedophile".
April went missing on 1 October 2012 near her Machynlleth home sparking the biggest search in UK police history. Her remains have never been found. Having deliberated for just over four hours, the jury returned three guilty verdicts - abduction, murder and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Ever since his arrest, Bridger - only the 37th person to be given a whole-life tariff - stuck steadfastly to his story about not remembering where he put April's remains. This conversation was the subject of legal arguments during the trial.
