...for the post this refers to.


It drives me nuts trying to navigate an article, switching back-and-forth between the footnotes and the text.

Well, here are the notes in a separate post -- you can open this in another tab, and switch back and forth between them.

Neat, huh?

Sorry, I didn't do the italics--it's just too much work!


NOTES

1. Nina Eliasoph, "Drive-In Morality, Child Abuse, and
the Media", Socialist Review, No. 90 (1986), p.29. The term,
as Eliasoph points out, refers to the situation "in which a
minor social problem expresses and preempts a deeper,
related one."

2. See, e.g., Lori B. Andrews, "Are We Raising A Terrified
Generation?", Parents Magazine, December, 1986,
pp.138-142,228-232.

3. "Facing Up to Sex Abuse: Prevention Programs Proliferate
in Classrooms Across the U.S.", Time, Nov. 12, 1984, pp.91-2.

4. Shirley O'Brien, Child Pornography (Dubuque:
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Co., 1983), pp.103-5.

5. Mandatory reporting laws such as these certainly have a
deterrent effect on such individuals seeking out psychological
counseling. See John Money and J.D. Weinrich,
"Juvenile, Pedophile, Heterophile: Hermeneutics of
Science, Medicine and Law in
Two Outcome Studies", Medicine & Law (1983) 2: 39-54.

6. See, e.g., "Disturbing End of a Nightmare. The Scott
County Sex-Abuse Cases Draw to a Confusing Close",

Testimony. A Chilling Sexual Abuse Case Takes a Strange
Turn", Time, Dec. 15, 1986, p.64.

(Secaucus: Lyle Stuart Inc., 1986), pp.17-91.
McMartin is one of many examples.

8. Douglas J. Besharov, "Unfounded allegations -- a new
child abuse problem", The Public Interest, No. 83 (Spring
1986).

9. Media phenomena such as the popularity of Brooke
Shields, and the incidence of father-daughter incest
demonstrate the pervasiveness of the problem.

10. "Protection of Children Against Child Exploitation
Act of 1977", 18 U.S.C. Sections 2251, et. seq., effective
date January 1, 1978.

11. United States v. Dost, 636 F. Supp. 828, 832.

12. The 1984 amendments are incorporated in the "Child
Protection Act of 1984", now 18 U.S.C. Section 2251 et. seq.
Congress changed the phrase "lewd exhibition of the genitals"
to read "lascivious exhibition of the genitals" with the
intent of broadening the proscription.

13. Cong. Rec., Sept. 29, 1986, pp.8590-92. The "Child
Sexual Abuse and Pornography Act of 1986" amended, inter
alia, Sections 2251 and 2255 of Title 18.

Massachusetts Criminal Code, 272 Sections 29A and 29B.

15. California Penal Code, Section 311.3(a)(5). Although
a photograph may be found not to constitute child pornography,
the adult may still be prosecuted under the California child
protection laws. In 1983, a Riverside, California
schoolteacher was convicted for child molestation after he
asked several boys to pose for photographs without their
shirts. Deputy District Attorney David Gunn said that although
the defendant did not approach the boys sexually or fondle them,
because he was a paedophile, "he violated the misdemeanor
molestation law by asking them to pose shirtless." "Shirtless
photos lead to misdeamnor [sic] molestation conviction",
Press-Enterprise, Riverside, CA, Feb. 17, 1983.

16. Missouri Revised Statutes Section 568.060(1)(b)(1).

17. See, e.g. Montana Code Annotated, 1985, Section
45-5-625(e)(3); Indiana Penal Code, Section 35-42-4-4.

18. See, e.g. United States v. Stevenson, No. 86-5102 (9th
Cir., 1986).

19. Emilie Lounsberry, "Priest Given Probation; Got
Child-Porn Journal", Philadelphia Inquirer, Nov. 14, 1986.
The Catholic priest was convicted of receiving a magazine,
legal in Denmark and most other European countries,
featuring teenage boys.

20. See, e.g. "Surgeon sentenced to five years for child
pornography", UPI Wire Service, March 7, 1987. The
"children" were two minors, ages 16 and 17; also, "Teenage
Porn Star's Agent Indicted On Exploitation Charges", UPI
Wire Service, March 6, 1987. Adult pornography star Traci
Lord's agent and two producers were indicted by a federal
grand jury on child pornography charges.
Lord was reportedly 16 at the time her first film was
produced. The film was a popular adult film and, by all
accounts, Lord appeared to be well over 18 years of age.
See also, State v. Steer, 517 A2d. 797 (S.Ct. N.H. 1986).

21. Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973).

22. According to confidential sources, the approximate total
number of child pornography magazines produced world-wide
between the late 60's and 1982 are: 415 different issues of
magazines depicting children engaged in sexual activity
with other children or adults (with slightly more magazines
depicting boys than girls); 460 different issues of magazines
depicting boys in naturist and erotic nude settings, including
some photographs which qualify as "lascivious exhibition of
the genitals"; 65 different issues of magazines depicting
girls in naturist and erotic nude settings, including some
photographs which qualify as "lascivious exhibition of the
genitals". Only magazines containing depictions of children
who are apparently or actually under the age of 15 were
included in this count. (That age is the legal age in Denmark.)
Compared with the number of adult magazines,
films, and videos, the total production of child
pornography from inception to demise is
minuscule.

In the United States, in 1985 alone, over 1,700 adult-sex
videotapes were produced and over 2,000 adult magazine
titles were on display in only 16 adult
bookstores visited by members of the Meese Commission.

Commission on Pornography, Final Report ("Meese Commission
Report"), U.S.G.P.O., July, 1986, pp.1353-1406.

and Often Is", Philadelphia Gay News, Jan. 10, 1985, p.1.
See also, Meese Commission Report, p.1364.

24. Some children appeared in only one or a few photographs,
while other children were featured in dozens of photographs.

25. See, e.g. Don Gentile, "Tells of Babies in Porn", New
York Daily News, July 28, 1982. Reports of this type are
sensationalistic and based on fantasy or rumour. It is rare
in commercial child pornography for very young children -- ages
3-5 -- to be portrayed at all, let alone engaged in any
"sexual activity". If "sexual activity"
is depicted, it is of the masturbatory type, not penetrative.
That is not to say that this kind of thing doesn't happen,
just that it was not depicted in child pornography magazines.
Depictions of babies being molested don't seem to exist at
all. The frequently cited Baby Sex did not feature children
at all, but an achondroplastic dwarf in his mid-30's.

Maltreatment of Children (Baltimore: University Park Press,
1978), pp.321-4. Densen-Gerber characterized herself best
when she was quoted in a Time magazine article as saying,
"I just found out about these magazines and films this summer
[1976), and I've become a raving banshee over it." "Child's
Garden of Perversity", Time, April 4, 1977.

37. Densen-Gerber was accused in January, 1982 by New
York State Attorney General Robert Abrams of misappropriating
public monies for her own personal use. The money
had been targeted for Odyssey House. Other charges of
professional misconduct had also been leveled at Densen-Gerber,
including "that she forced an inmate to kneel and
wash her feet; that she forced a black man to sit in a chair
while white women spat on him; and that once when an inmate
died at Odyssey House, she ordered other inmates to dance
around the deceased while singing 'Jingle Bells"'. Mitzel,
"Financial Scandal Hits Anti-Kid Porn Crusader", Gay Community
News, January 23, 1982. Martin resigned from the
LAPD in 1982, psychologically "fatigued". Police officials
believed Martin "was a classic example of a police officer
who crossed the line between dedication and obsession."
Martin was criticized by fellow police officers and
public officials for failing to back up his claims with
verifiable figures, for acting in an overzealous manner and
for harassing members of the gay community without cause.
One officer stated that Martin "was not above overstating
the problem . . . to gain support for his cause and fame
for himself." Keith Love, "Officer Finds Fame, Misfortune",

202 indictments. Child Pornography and Pedophilia, October
9, 1986, pp.5-6; figures June 1986 to date obtained from the
United States Postal Service. This means that between June
1986 and September 1987 there were 279 indictments, largely
the result of government "sting" operations.

54. In U.S. v. Stokes, Case No. CR86-00146-AH, United States
District Court, Southern District of Alabama, Postal
Inspectors initiated correspondence with the suspect, who
noted his interest "in sexual partners between the ages of
10 and 39. " Affidavit of David A. Evans, Sr., United States
Customs Service, November 12, 1986.

55. United States v. Thoma, 726 F.2d 1191, 1194 (7th Cir.
1984).

56. Recently, U.S. law enforcement initiated another
international scam. Letters sent to suspects, headed
"Hello Lolita Collector", respectively sent from "L.
Gagnon" and "Produit out Auoais", P.O. Box 1457, Succ B,
Hull, Quebec, Canada J8X 3X3. The latter offer
consisted of a brochure in both English and French. Government
deliveries of child pornography to suspects are being sent by
DHL courier service rather than via the United States Postal
Service.

57. The Affidavit of Paul Hartman, supporting a search
warrant issued in United States v. Emerick, Case No.
CR 86-190A, United States District Court, Northern District
of Ohio, Eastern Division, is a case in point.
Hartman uses innuendo in place of supporting fact. "The
affidavit nowhere mentions why Defendant's name is on [the
list], how may names and whose names were on the list . . .
or any information concerning why [Defendant's] name was
on [the list]." Motion to Suppress, pp.5-6.

58. In or around May, 1985, Det. William Dworin of the
LAPD, together with other law enforcement personnel,
seized copies of the mailing list of Award Films,
a film distribution company which
distributes critically-acclaimed
domestic and foreign films, such as "Fanny and Alexander"
(Bergman), "Small Change" (Truffaut), "You
Are Not Alone" (Nielsen), "Suddenly Last Summer"
(Mankiewicz), "Lianna" (Sayles) and "Taxi Zum Klo"
(Riploh). The films distributed by Award are films about
growing up, coming-of-age or being gay. A few of the films,
such as "Robby" (Bleumke), showed some non-suggestive
child nudity. Award did not distribute any pornography,
let alone child pornography, but the officers executing the
groundless search warrant remarked that individual
paedophiles whom they had arrested owned films distributed
by Award. This, they felt, was reason enough for the
seizure. The Award mailing list
was distributed to law enforcement agencies
throughout the United States. See Affidavit of
Paul Hartman, United States v. Emerick, p.4;
