These House hearings deal with a number of similar bills prohibiting the sexual exploitation of children and the transporting in interstate and foreign commerce of photographs of film depicting such exploitation. These practices, including physical sexual abuse of children of both sexes and all ages, are seen to be proliferating. The hearings attempt to establish the breadth and depth of such practices. They also deal with a number of related questions, such as what the causal factors are, and whether financial inducements play an important role in attracting children to these practices. Statements from expert witnesses, as well as a number of supporting documents, are included. (Author/BP)
