British subscription site OnlyFans is failing to prevent underage users from selling and appearing in explicit videos, a BBC investigation has found. Unders have used fake identification to set up accounts, and police say a year-old used a grandmother's passport. The UK's most senior police officer for child protection also says children are being "exploited" on the platform. OnlyFans says its age verification systems go over and above regulatory requirements. The platform has more than a million "creators" who share video clips, photos and messages directly with subscribers for a monthly fee.
It started with feet photos
What is ‘sexting’?
Child abuse material can include films, images and videos sent by text, email, in chat rooms or published on blogs. It can even include pictures that have been photo-shopped to make a young person look naked, or cartoons of young people having sex! The maximum penalty for making, sending or having child abuse material is 15 years in jail. New South Wales child pornography laws only apply to images of young people under the age of 16, but the Commonwealth laws are broader. Anyone who sends, receives or asks for a naked or sexual image of a person who is or appears to be under the age of 18 is at risk of committing a crime and of being charged.
Grandmother's passport
The girl was listed on a warrant as both the adult perpetrator and the minor victim of two counts of sexual exploitation of minor - second-degree exploitation for making her photo and third-degree exploitation for having her photo in her possession. This is why laws like this are a bad idea. While I can remember goofing around in my early 20s, taking it to Walmart of all places, the results were 2 hard copies easily controlled. And I would dare say no one under 18 was doing this. Times have changed. Teens have always been getting naked and sexy with one another, now they have ways to discretely tease and entice each other. This should not be a crime. Exploitation of children, voyeur pictures of pervs, actual child porn should be illegal. But there is a big difference between a 16 year old showing off her boobs and any of that. Change the laws already.
