Question this is for a research project: is viewing child pornography on the internet illegal in the u.s.?
thank, I couldn't find a normal answer to this anywhere.
Answer Hi Sam,
Child Pornography is illegal to have in any form, printed, data file or other type. It is against Title 18 US Code, and also all states in the US have state laws against its possession.
You can go here www.findlaw.com, and look up any states laws about it.
