porn is turning children into rapists: boy, 12 rapes 9 year old after watching porn

Schoolboy was copying acts he had watched online, court hears.

His lawyer warned that the case was just the 'tip of the iceberg', with many others going unreported.

judge spares the child rapist jail.

why do people say unregulated hardcore porn over the internet is harmless?

I don't think anyone in the world has been arguing that 12 year olds watching hardcore porn is okay

I first watched porn when I was 11...
How many people have I raped? 0.
How many people have I wanted to rape? 0.
Do I think women are objects? No.
etc. etc.

Anything can be harmful when given to mentally stunted kids :colonhash:

:colonhash:

The Daily Mail has campaigned for an automatic block on online porn, calling for a consultation on the introduction of content filtering systems for internet accounts.

Well, the Daily mail can go **** itself.

OP

the daily mail zombies are out in force already.....its beyond satire sometimes.

this is a serious issue.

There is so little evidence that watching porn as a child turns you in to a sex offender that it is actually laughable that the Daily Mail think they can make a valid headline out of it.

I don't think you can blame it all on the kid watching porn to be honest.

He knew perfectly well what he was doing was wrong by the way he took her to the shed, out of sight of other people.

Yes the porn had influence but I think the messed up kid is more to blame. At 12 years old you are old enough to know what's right and wrong yet he did it anyway.

Eughh this is sick, why did I read this :frown:

What the ****!!

****ing ridiculous, clueless politicians (and ****ty self righteous interfering websites like mumsnet) are turning this country into a nanny state I used to watch loads of porn when I was 12 to 15 up untill I met real girls (admitedly not rape porn) I do not/did not believe everything I saw was real and I realised that most of it was fake and anyone with an IQ above 50 will realise that.

I don't agree there should be "rape porn" allowed to exist on the internet anyway though even if it is just an act stimulating it shouldn't be allowed either it should be banned completley but stopping access to all porn in just stupid and shouldn't be allowed to happen 99.999% of people who watch porn don't turn into violent rapists or don't think all women like it up the arse.

the child said he was copying what he saw. the problem is, hardcore porn is everywhere on the internet now, and so like the lawyer said, this case is the tip of the iceberg.

there has to be some sort of regulations so children cannot just look at it whenever they want to. it can't be very healthy for them to view such material at such an early age.

The Daily Mail has campaigned for an automatic block on online porn, calling for a consultation on the introduction of content filtering systems for internet accounts.

Ah yes, because being a responsible parent is just too much effort.

The Daily Mail should have its own scientific journal. Some pretty quality work they're doing there. "In one case, one particular thing happened and then later another thing happened! We haven't reproduced this result, looked at any other cases of the first thing or the second thing happening, in conjunction or on their own, but we've been able to determine a statistically significant causal relationship between them!"

I've been using the internet a lot for well over a decade and I've never come across hardcore pornography by accident.

Some random guy

No, a crazy person commited a rape. He would have commited a crime of some sort regardless of watching porn. There is a major fallacy in this argument, you could use this excuse to censor everything as crazy people might get influenced by it and commit crimes.

That's Helen Lovejoy, not Maude (Flanders)... Jeez....

I watch Saw, I've never tried to hook someone up to a killing machine ...

While on death row in his last interview, Ted Bundy said that watching hardcore pornography was a key factor in the killings of several innocents.

Maybe it can influence people to an extent, but I'm not sure.

Then film it, and put it on the internet :cool:

Wat. Porn has existed for thousands of years. We've actually seen an decrease in rape, whilst access to porn has increased. You can't pull a random exception out of your ass and claim it as the rule.
