Pepperdine Law Review, 5, 809-846.http://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2170&context=plrhttp://hdl.handle.net/11212/3217Through the enactment of bold new laws, increased enforcement, and severe public pressure, they have gone about constructing large "millstones" as burdensome deterrents to producers, distributors, and retailers of child pornography in an attempt to curb the rapid growth of the multimillion dollar child sexploitation enterprise. Unable to forecast the sudden appearance and rapid rise of child sexploitation, scholars have been caught at a complete surprise and legal literature has yet to touch upon the subject fully. This comment will attempt to present an understanding of this important concern by reviewing the prior legislative voids as well as the problems confronting new legislation hastily drafted to prevent further spread of child sexploitation. Finally, after understanding how society has contracted this social disease, and the harm that it will ultimately produce, this comment will set forth a proposal designed to soothe the trauma of this new form of child abuse.
