The anti-child porn crowd seems unable to look at images of children without seeing pornography; they have sexualized kids to such an extent that the very idea of an innocent image no longer exists. -Feminists Against Censorship
The Innocent Images Project is based on two ideas.
1) Any adult who cannot look at an image of a naked or partially naked child without being disturbed or disgusted may have some kind of disorder or phobia and should seek professional help.
2) The public discourse concerning child porn is dominated by lies, myths, and doublespeak so egregious that we’ve entered the realm of fantasy and magic. Since our government refuses to let us see the images it deems child pornography so we can judge for ourselves, the Innocent Images Project takes the next best approach. Innocent Images will show you images that were called child pornography, but have been proven to be anything but.
While I believe that real child pornography (explicit sexual activity involving minors) exists, I also believe that many, many images called child pornography are nothing of the sort, unless we interpret child porn laws so broadly that any image of a person under 18 could be considered child porn.
A note on the Images
In the pages that follow, no images will load automatically. To see them, you’ll have to click on the links provided. These images are not hosted on WordPress.com. All of the images I’ll be linking to do not, in my opinion, constitute child pornography under U.S. Federal Code.

“Innocent Images will show you images that were called child pornography, but have been proven to be anything but.”
“All of the images I’ll be linking to do not, in my opinion, constitute child pornography under U.S. Federal Code.”
The first statement appears to be implying the images have been proven legal in a court of law, while the second statement implies you believe the images are legal, but they haven’t been tested.
Could you please clarify what you mean by ” proven to be anything but”

Not IB,
I apologize for the confusion. I didn’t intend to use “proven” in a legal or scientific way. I should have picked a better why to phrase things. The idea behind the sentence “Innocent Images will show you images that were called child pornography, but have been proven to be anything but” is this. We often hear or read that child porn images are crime scene images, and that they depict the sexual assault or rape of children. What Innocent Images will do is gather specific images and some of the comments made about these images, and let you read and see for yourself. I think most thinking people will be surprised at what the anti-CP crusaders are calling child porn.

I’m very impressed by your blog, and have myself done a great amount of research into this subject.
As I’m sure you know, internet child modelling is often described a CP. I feel I know the business pretty well, and I’m in touch with ex-models and photographers, etc. So far I’ve yet to come across a single case where a child has felt victimised or where a parent has complained. In every case, it is the authorities who have made the ‘victims’ and deceived the public – on a massive scale.
We have the unholy alliance of US Christian-right ‘morals’ and victim-feminism to thank for the damage this witch-hunt has done to so many families, children and society itself. It is creating a psychopathic society – deluded, paranoid, hysterical and lacking in empathy. It is primarily a disease of the sexually-repressed and sex-obsessed Anglophone world, and originated in that so-called land of freedom: the USA.
I’m sure I could provide you with much useful material. Please contact me if interested.
