In most circumstances, it is not illegal for someone under 18 to watch porn involving adults having sex. While the Australian Communication and Media Authority can request that films on the internet showing people having sex are removed, it’s generally not against the law to watch these films.
It is against the law to watch, make, show or sell pornography involving young people under 18 or to show or sell indecent or offensive material. Indecent or offensive material includes material that shows violence or cruelty or anything that would cause offence to reasonable members of the community.
Yes, it is illegal to send, show or give pornographic films to a person under 18, even if you’re in a private place like your house. This means that a young person showing another young person porn could be committing an offence.
A sexual image or film involving young people may be child exploitation material.
Under South Australian law, child exploitation material is anything like a film, photo, cartoon or book designed to excite sexual arousal that:
Essentially, any material that is intended to be sexy and contains, or appears to contain, a person under 17 may be child exploitation material.
Under Commonwealth law, child pornography includes sexual images of anyone who is (or appears to be) under 18. It is possible to be charged under Commonwealth laws in South Australia.
Even if a young person says that they agree to be in the image or film, it is still considered child pornography.
It is an offence to make, send, post online, have, or ask someone for child pornography.
It is illegal to use phones or the internet to ‘groom’ people under the age of 17. This can look like sending sexual images to try to get that young person interested in sex.
If the person doing the ‘grooming’ is an adult and they are in a position of power or authority over the young person (like a teacher or employer) then the law says that the young person must be 18 or older. It may not be illegal if the young person receiving the communication was 16 and the person who has been charged was under 17 or thought that the other young person was 17 or older.
In most cases, it is illegal to get someone under 17 (or 18, if the older person is in a position of power or authority) to do an ‘indecent act’ or take photo or film of a young person engaged in an ‘indecent act’.
An invasive image is an image of a person in a place other than a public place where the person is:
If is an offence to distribute an invasive image of someone if the other person does not consent to that image being shared.
It is also a crime to threaten to share an invasive image intending to or not caring if it makes the other person afraid you will.
Even if a young person under 17 agrees to be in an invasive image or have the image shared, this doesn’t count as consent and these laws can still apply.
It is an offence to film another person undressed or engaged in a private act (like having a shower) where they would normally expect privacy, or film a person’s private region when this would not be expected.
If you are concerned about that an image of you or someone you know is being shared inappropriately, you should contact the police. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner also has the power to have images removed from websites and issue monetary penalties in certain circumstances. You can make a report on their website: esafety.gov.au/report

Gang Used Social Media Sites to Identify Potential Victims

It’s yet another reason why parents need to keep a close eye on their kids’ involvement with social networking websites—during a three-year period ending in March 2012, members of a violent Virginia street gang used some of these websites to recruit vulnerable high-school age girls to work in their prostitution business.
After a multi-agency state and federal investigation, all five defendants pled guilty to various federal charges related to the sex trafficking conspiracy. The leader of the gang—27-year-old Justin Strom—was just sentenced on September 14 to 40 years in prison, while the sentences handed down for the other four defendants totaled 53 years.
Strom headed up the Underground Gangster Crips (UGC), a Crips “set” based in Fairfax, Virginia. The Crips originated in Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and since then, the gang has splintered into various groups around the country. Law enforcement has seen a number of Crips sets in the U.S. engaging in sex trafficking as a means of making money.
Protect Your Kids on Social Networking Sites
Talk to your kids about the dangers of being sexually exploited online and offline.
Make sure your kids’ privacy settings are high, but also keep in mind that information can inadvertently be leaked by friends and family…so kids should still be careful about posting certain information about themselves—like street address, phone number, Social Security number, etc. Be aware of who your kids’ online friends are, and advise them to accept friend requests only from people they know personally. Know that teens are not always honest about what they are doing online. Some will let their parents “friend” them, for example, but will then establish another space online that is hidden from their parents. Teens sometimes employ an “Internet language” to use when parents are nearby. For example: - PAW or PRW: Parents are watching - PIR: Parents in room - POS: Parent over shoulder - LMIRL: Let’s meet in real life
That’s certainly what was happening in Virginia. Strom and his UGC associates would troll social networking sites, looking for attractive young girls. After identifying a potential victim, they would contact her online using phony identities...complimenting her on her looks, asking to get to know her better, sometimes offering her the opportunity to make money as a result of her looks.
If the victim expressed interest (and many did, being young and easily flattered by the attention), Strom or one of his associates would ask for her cell phone number to contact her offline and make plans to meet.
After some more flattery about their attractiveness, sometimes hits of illegal drugs and alcohol, and even mandatory sexual “tryouts” with Strom and other gang members, the girls were lured into engaging in commercial sex, often with the help of more senior girls showing them the ropes. The girls might be sent to an apartment complex with instructions to knock on doors looking for potential customers…or driven to hotels for pre-arranged meetings…or taken to Strom’s house, where he allowed paying customers to have sex with them.
In addition to using the Internet, Strom and his associates recruited vulnerable young girls from schools and bus and rail stops. He also went online to find customers—postings ads on various websites showing scantily clad young women.
Some of the juvenile victims were threatened with violence if they didn’t perform as directed, and many were given drugs or alcohol to keep them sedated and compliant.
Strom and his associates did not discriminate—their victims were from across the socioeconomic spectrum and represented different ethnic backgrounds.
The FBI’s Washington Field Office worked the investigation alongside the Fairfax County Police Department, with the assistance of the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force.
After the group’s indictment in March 2012, then-Special Agent in Charge Ronald Hosko of our Washington Field Office reiterated the importance of working with our partners and community groups in combating these types of despicable crimes. He also said, “Trafficking in humans, especially for the purpose of underage prostitution, is among the most insidious of crimes…and the FBI will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to track down those who exploit our children and engage in human trafficking.”
An oil painting by French Impressionist Pierre Auguste Renoir stolen from a Houston home last year—and estimated to be worth $1 million—is the newest addition to the FBI’s Top Ten Art Crimes list.
A cold case is just that—an investigation of a crime, usually a violent one, where all leads have been exhausted and the trail has gone cold. But in recent years, the use of various technologies has begun heating up many of these cold cases, uncovering new leads for investigators and providing justice for victims.
