From a 1977 House Judiciary committee hearing on child sexual exploitation.

Interesting read about the child pornography industry, child sexual abuse, and the lack of laws to address it. In 1977, only 6 states had laws to ban child pornography. New York and California were the epicenters of the child porn epidemic.

Reviews how some people argued child porn was protected free speech (including the ACLU). Report includes letters to the editors from a lengthy article about the child pornography industry in a Chicago newspaper.
