According to the United States Sentencing Commission website, child pornography offenders have actually decreased 12.4% since 2014.

I guess it was just my imagination that it seems the problem is worse than ever.  However, I did discover some startling statistics about these types of criminals.

Just Look At These Statistics

  • 45.5% of child pornography offenders were sentenced for trafficking child pornography
  • 43.3% were sentenced for possessing child pornography; and 11.2% were sentenced for receiving child pornography.
  • 99.3% of child pornography offenders were men
  • 83.3% were White, 9.5% were Hispanic, 4.2 % were Black, and 3.0% were Other races.
  • Their average age was 41 years.
  • 76.5% had little or no prior criminal history (Criminal History Category I).

That last one is the scary one. For all intents and purposes, these criminals were perceived by many as being benign with little or no prior criminal history.  And yet, here they were, committing some of the most heinous crimes in the whole country.
