Depends where you are and what you mean by r@pe as someone I know was once held for questioning for quite a while because he took a girl home he met in a pub'. Who then disappeared.

He wasn't anything to do with her running away and she turned up pretty shortly afterwards--got hungry or something. On the night she was made up to the nines, and wearing a big hairpiece that would've taken quite some time to grow naturally. And, as she'd told him she was 17, he never thought not to mention that they'd got down to it when the Police were making their missing persons enquiries.

Thing is she wasn't 17...she was 15...

...and so they had to question him about statutory r@pe. No charges were brought but it was all a bit white-knuckle for a while. She'd told everyone she was 17. I'd served her alcohol on that basis because someone else, yeah other than him, had told me she was when I'd asked.

Now, |—|ent@i and animé, literally, isn't real, obviously. But Ian Huntley is. And, although there's nothing I've downloaded through p2p so far that features obviously under-aged, or other non-consensual, "action", this can't be said of a series of cascading pop-ups that I couldn't get rid of surfing the web one night on a friend's dial-up a few years ago looking for free XXX adult content. Yeah, come to Daddy and all that.

But perhaps you know better than I do what's real and what's acted?

While I'm replying I'll include for completeness that it seems there is a midway point between just ignoring really genuinely dodgy content and reporting IP addresses to the authorities.

You can block any IP from uploading to your instance of LW using Tools-->options-->filters-->hosts from the drop-down menus at the top of the program window; but you need to have made a note of the host address and type it in by hand as it's not possible to highlight and copy it from the Search window tag so it can be pasted in.
