Possessing child sexual abuse materials is not only a serious crime but also strongly linked to committing sexual abuse. Research shows that individuals who possess or share these materials are more likely to engage in actual acts of abuse, as the consumption of such content can normalize and reinforce harmful behaviors. This connection underscores the importance of addressing both the demand for these materials and the potential risk these individuals pose to children. Civil legal action against those caught with child sexual abuse materials is a critical step in preventing further abuse and protecting vulnerable children from harm.
