Violent pornography has a strong influence on children who go on to commit sexual abuse, a report from the children’s commissioner has suggested.
A study of transcripts from sexual abuse clinics and police found references to violent pornographic acts in 50 per cent of cases under review where one child had assaulted another.
Dame Rachel de Souza described the report as “perhaps the work that I have found hardest to publish since becoming children’s commissioner”.
She said the evidence presented “a compelling case . . . much of the abuse is taking forms which are depicted in pornography”.
