Following the effects of a new law in the Czech Republic that allowed pornography to a society previously having forbidden it allowed us to monitor the change in sex related crime that followed the change. As found in all other countries in which the phenomenon has been studied, rape and other sex crimes did not increase. Of particular note is that this country, like Denmark and Japan, had a prolonged interval during which possession of child pornography was not illegal and, like those other countries, showed a significant decrease in the incidence of child sex abuse.

To be clear - I'm not saying the science is in favour of ANY option, I'm saying that due to the stigma on this topic, we are severely lacking in hard data. All we have are hypotheses. It would be nice if people could stop sending death threats to researchers and social workers who try to bring up the well being of MAPs as a topic of discussion and research.

To my understanding, people with this issue use the term to differentiate themselves (i.e. attracted to minors, but haven't acted on those impulses) from those who have acted on said impulses (pedophiles). Given the huge stigma connected to the label, I can perfectly understand why they'd want to make that distinction very clear.

Yes, the legal issues would be a huge can of worms. I'm not advocating for free use of AI CSAM, I'd just like some actual research to be done instead of going with the 'think of the children' kneejerk reaction.
