Huge article in the weekend paper about it. Unfortunately there is no electronic version of it but I am going to scan it from the papaer and make it available.

Some highlights:
In Denmark, wherre all forms of pornography (including child porn) were legalized in 1969, sex crimes have fallen 87%.
In West Germany, where most pornography was legalized in 1973, reports of group rape decreased by 59%, and rape by strangers decreased 33%.
Similar figures for Japan and Canada.
"The research seems to indicate that if you leglize it, it doesn't lead to an increase in sexual predation; it leads to a decrease.You have an outlet, a harmless outlet".

Much more data is presented in the article. The conclusion is that you can definitely rule out the argument that wider availability of porn leads to more sex crimes. The research says exactly the opposite.
