Overview

Pornography, in one form or another, has hit this generation hard, and it is growing every day. Twenty years ago, pornography of any kind was barely mentioned anywhere, but a study in 2006 revealed astonishing statistics that between the ages of 18-49, 82 percent viewed pornographic magazines, 84 percent watched pornographic films, and 34 percent watched online. This has become a form of illegal entertainment and affects not only those viewing it, but also the entire population that produces and distributes it.

Current Statistics

Child pornography is combined in the stats that the Neilson Company has accumulated for the United States. Recent stats show that every day in the U.S.:

  • 37 pornographic videos are created
  • 2.5 billion emails containing porn are sent and received online
  • 68 million searches are generated, which is 25 percent of all searches
  • 116,000 queries are received about child pornography

Pornography is illegal in the 50 states, and with the growing number of arrests, nationally recognized Long Island Defense Lawyer Raiser & Kenniff is adamant about answering questions from the public concerning these crimes.
