Diminishing incidence of Internet child pornographic images

Psychol Rep. 2003 Aug;93(1):305-6. doi: 10.2466/pr0.2003.93.1.305.

Abstract

Indecent images of children posted to web sites and newsgroups over a 4-yr. period were sampled. A significant decline in the number of such images posted was observed, probably accounted for by the pressure of groups opposed to the distribution of such exploitive material.
