Fake Child Pornography is Supposed To Attract Sex Offenders
The dark web or darknet facilitates various criminal acts which perpetrators commit on a daily basis. Although many people would prefer not to accept the fact that, a lot of crimes on the darknet are awful and vile, the truth intensively stands the same. Moreover, one of the most dreadful acts criminals involve themselves in on the dark web is child pornography, which is designed to abuse and harm children. Child pornography on the dark web has been available for quite a while now. Despite the fact that these criminals have not been committing the act every now and again, like other crimes such as illicit drug deals, little attention has be given to this topic.
According to a report by the German Press Agency in Munich, the proof of crime on the Darknet has always been quite troublesome in essence, due to its state of anonymity. Therefore, investigators usually craft ways to cleverly penetrate the darknet, to be able to come out with vivid evidence in taking on cyber criminals. However, one major issue noticed by investigators is the recent use of “chastity samples” for undercover investigations.
In the view of Bavaria’s Justice Minister, Winfried Bausback’s thought to use fake child pornography on the internet in an attempt to go on a criminal hunt. It is quite shocking that the highest lawyers in the Free State motivate to ponder such strange ways of taking on criminals.
Nonetheless, the CSU politician of the German Press Agency in Munich stated that “in the area of child pornography, our undercover investigators often come up against the limits under current law.” He also said that, in order for investigators not to be noticed as a secret detective in the internet exchange sites, they would first have to submit a “chastity test.” This means, by so doing, they can even upload child pornography material. However, “since the act of using child porn materials to take down criminals is not possible under the current law, the perpetrators can easily unmask secret investigators,” he added.
Frequently, the law enforcement has no further investigation tactics on the transaction in stock trades, with a specific end goal to prove and to uncover the perpetrators from “their abominable and obnoxious mischief,” emphasized Bausback. He stated that “we need to change that urgently.” The use of fake images and videos with child pornography content created specifically for purposes of secret investigations could help to keep the anonymity of the officers safe, and at the same time put the perpetrators away for the better.
In any case, the investigators would without a doubt need to act “very cautious.” Likewise they must require the new rules to at least make tight limits a bit flexible for them: “by so doing, the secret investigators will have the permit to transfer and upload fake child pornographic material,,” indicated Bausback. He further made investigators aware of the consequences of using real child pornographic material and also cautioned investigating authorities to never go by a way which might actually harm children.
Lastly, Bausback said, “in the fight against child pornography particularly on the Darknet, law enforcers have to employ the use of secret investigators of central importance.” Furthermore, because this is not at all like the fight against drugs and arms trafficking, there is no “offline component” in the child pornography. There should be classic investigative actions, for example. Nonetheless, the objective of all endeavors and efforts must be to prevent sexual abuse and also stop additional acts that harm children because “one abused child is already too many.
