Child pornography (CP), also known as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), is erotic material that involves or depicts persons under the designated age of majority. The precise characteristics of what constitutes child pornography vary by criminal jurisdiction.
Child pornography is often produced through online solicitation, coercion, and covert photography. Sexual abuse (such as forcible rape or statutory rape) is often involved during its production. Pornographic pictures of minors are also often produced by children and teenagers without the involvement of an adult. CSAM images and videos are frequently collected and shared online.
