“If pedophiles would have manipulated pornography, the number of cases of child abuse could well fall again.” This enables forensic psychiatry and psychology professor Jan Hendriks. He thinks that the feelings of some pedophiles as may be curbed

.

Existing child -’en there is a lot of ‘- is so manipulated that the children used it, totally unrecognizable. “Technically this is possible,” says Henry.

The professor thinks that having a legal outlet can deter men outraging children. “But the fact that all pedophiles do with their desires, is illegal and is detested, joins. If they are in a legal way what to do with their sexual orientation, and feel that they are still somewhat accepted in this way can help it. “

According to Hendriks be pedophiles by society often considered samples . “But it’s people like you and me who happen to have a certain orientation. They often live very isolated and feel rejected. Who asks to well to have such feelings ‘

Adjustment Act

‘? Of course there first research needed in which one group of pedophiles in their treatment of the manipulated, non-violent child can look. The other group, the control group, which is not allowed. And must be viewed in terms of the consequences being and recidivism: go into one of two groups of fewer men re-offend “

The possession of child pornography is illegal in the Netherlands. The law should be amended to make this investigation.

Henry admits that such a proposal can stir up a lot of dust. “In the discussions about adult porn you always have two camps: one that thinks that porn can be an outlet, which can be prevented worse, and another camp that thinks that porn right abuse in hand work. That is not different. And then, of course, pornography is a lot more sensitive. ” Still, he thinks it’s a good idea to set up such research. “Possibly you prevent worse damage with this product,” he says.

A few years ago pleaded sexologists all for legalizing virtual child pornography, which contains no images of real people, but only computer animations.

Room manipulation

The House sees nothing in the idea of ​​Hendriks. “Abuse of children, we never accept. This also applies to the use of anonymized and made unrecognizable images of abused children, “responds VVD MP Foort East.

” The VVD does not believe that a latent need in this way must be supported or even encouraged ‘said Van Oosten. Other parties are dismissive. “The Labour Party is leading that children must always be protected from sexual abuse,” says MP Marith Rebel. Behind manipulated pornography images, indeed, some real victims who have been abused. ” Nine Kooiman the SP is with her. “In making these pictures have children ago. This kind of material to use, I also think not correct. ”

If scientific research demonstrating abroad beyond doubt that a preventive effect of watching virtual child, then as it sits on the Labour Party, the discussion should be conducted again.

‘Manufactured child must be destroyed, not used,’ says Green Left MP Liesbeth van Tongeren. “Your child will only rise. Unrecognizable, yet. ” Gert-Jan Segers of the Christian Union speaks of a completely impassable road. “Pedophiles need help, no child pornography. I do not understand how this could be helpful “
