The World of Internet Obscenity

Combating Internet Obscenity
Through Law Enforcement

In June 2002 Morality in Media (MIM) launched the ObscenityCrimes.org Web site to provide citizens with a convenient means online to report possible violations of federal Internet obscenity laws. Reports submitted to ObscenityCrimes.org are forwarded by MIM to U.S. Attorneys in the 50 states and to the Justice Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section in Washington. As of December 31, 2002, over 10,000 reports had been submitted to ObscenityCrimes.org from every state.

In 2002, MIM also retained the services of two retired law enforcement agents (with extensive experience investigating Internet pornography cases) to follow up on reports submitted by citizens to ObscenityCrimes.org and to prepare their own investigative reports which describe in detail the promotional material and sexual conduct that the agents observed on various “adult” Web sites.

Reprinted on the back are examples from the agents’ investigative reports of promotional material that the agents observed on various “adult” Web sites. Each line is from a different investigative report prepared by an agent. Since “adult” Web site promotional material is often lewd and vulgar, examples reprinted here may contain language that you may find disturbing or offensive.

Well, someone may ask, if the examples are disturbing or offensive, why reprint them??

Many Don’t Fully Appreciate
How Vile and Destructive Hardcore Pornography Is

Fr. Morton A. Hill (who served as Morality in Media’s president from 1962 until 1985) persuaded people to join in the War Against Pornography by showing them examples of the pictorial hardcore pornography then available. MIM discontinued that practice long ago. But there is still a need to make people realize how horrific the world of hardcore pornography really is!

Like former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stuart, most Americans would “know” hardcore pornography “if they see it.” Thankfully, however, most Americans aren’t often, if ever, exposed to such material. But because they aren’t, many don’t fully appreciate how vile and destructive hardcore pornography is -- and, therefore, many don’t do much if anything to combat it!

What they do often hear and read about are euphemisms -- “adult material,” “sexually explicit material,” “erotica,” -- all of which is supposedly harmless and protected by the First Amendment.

In 1986, the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography (Final Report) found that “increasingly, the most prevalent forms of pornography” fit the description of “sexually violent material” and that “an enormous amount of the most sexually explicit material available” can be categorized as “degrading” to people, “most often women.” The Commission also found that sexually violent and degrading pornography was not “harmless.”

And that was in 1986 -- before the explosion of the obscenity on the Internet! Today, hardcore pornography once available only in “adult bookstores” (if at all) is now readily accessible through the Internet in most American homes. And much of it can be easily accessed by children free of charge -- from a computer at home, a friend’s house, a job, a library or school, or with a lap top.

The First Amendment was never intended to protect hardcore pornographic materials. As the Supreme Court said in Miller v. California (1973): “to equate the free and robust exchange of ideas and political debate with commercial exploitation of obscene material demeans the grand conception of the First Amendment…It is a ‘misuse of the great guarantees of free speech and free press.’”
