Abstract

One of the more contentious issues accompanying the recent rapid growth of computer and internet technology is the offensive materials to child. Emerging digital technology now permits depictions of children involved in sexual activity which are virtual fabrications, with absolutely no involvement of children in their manufacture. Nevertheless, the subject matter is regarded as so abhorrent, the writer review the debates in U. S. A. U.S. supreme court conflict with government whether the computer-generated child pornography, indistinguishable from photographs of real children, should retain constitutional protection. In Korea, legislatures and courts have not addressed the issue because such images has not yet become a reality or is still in its infancy. To protect children from harmful computer-generated child pornography, our government must take into consideration legal protective measures before more children are hurt. The protection of children`s lives depends on such legislation because the child who gets seduced by a pedophile using virtual children pornography is a victims. At the risk of oversimplification on this issue, the writer emphasize that the legislator must consider the concerned scholar`s opinion and research results in the process of legislation.
