What commenters on here haven't said yet too is the snuff films that are out there. I remember a member of the Scorpions being shocked when he was invited to a viewing of one and Hugh Hefner apparently enjoyed them also.
The idea of "snuff films" hit the media in the 70s. It was quite the thing for a couple of news cycles. Someone claimed that they had seen one and the media leapt to tell everyone that it just couldn't happen. No way would anyone make such a film! And if they did make a snuff film, they'd definitely be caught! And then the whole thing vanished.
As I got older and learned more about human nature (and how much life is worth in certain countries), I came to realize that it absolutely is possible. People will do anything for money. If you're in a country where kids can be sold into sex slavery, how far of a step is it to have them killed while someone films it? The same laws or moral code that might prevent such a thing in the West wouldn't apply because the criminals in places like SE Asia just wouldn't care.
But the media fell all over themselves to tell people that such a thing could never exist, which kind of makes me think that they knew all about it and were desperate to keep it hidden.

The women who spoke out against Hugh Hefner (after his death unfortunately) said that he enjoyed them.
