What Are Internet Sex Crimes?

One of the most popularly recognized internet sex crimes is the production, distribution and acquisition of child pornography through the internet. This is a very serious offense and punished to the highest extent of the law. However, child pornography is not the only internet activity that warrants criminal charges. Law enforcement also seeks to prosecute sexual predators that try to solicit minors and children for the purpose of sexual gratification over the internet. This includes sexually-gratifying conversations as well as enticing minors to engage in sexual activity on internet chat room forums. 

In an attempt to catch these sexual predators, law enforcement agents often pose as minors in these chat rooms. This means that a person may believe they are speaking to a minor when it is really a law enforcement agent waiting to obtain enough incriminating material to press charges.
