Definitions from a recently released NCMEC study - http://www.missingkids.com/missingki...US&PageId=2018


The term ?child pornography,? because it implies simply conventional pornography with child subjects, is an inappropriate term to describe the true nature and extent of sexually exploitive images of child victims. Use of this term should not be taken to imply that children ?consented? to the sexual acts depicted in these photographs. We have, however, retained the term because there is a history in the United States of court decisions and statutes that have used and developed the term, and it is the term most readily recognized by the public, at this point in time, to describe this form of child sexual exploitation. ?Child pornography? is used in this report to refer to visual depictions of the sexual exploitation of a child under the standards developed by statute, case law, and law-enforcement-agency protocols. It is hoped that more accurate term will recognized, understood, and accepted for use in the near future.

We use the term ?child sexual victimization? broadly to mean the full range of sex crimes committed against minors that involve direct interaction with child victims. These include contact crimes such as child sexual abuse and molestation and non contact crimes such as online sexual solicitation.
