Yes, but I am stating it's near guaranteed that criminalizing consumption in this case has no effect on the production of it. The "good" being child rape, do you actually believe there are people who have raped children purely to take pictures and videos, and distribute (not sell) them? Absent people doing that, criminalizing child pornography possession protects no children.

Note that child rape is not a required part of the definition of child porn.

It could be a teen, posing provocatively, taking a selfie. Maybe they are 17. Maybe they feel the photo will promote a pop star career, or that it could be sold to pay for college. Maybe they just want it for personal reasons, to have 40 years later.

We know that people do this. It's not something that anybody disputes.

It is something that many people dispute. I for once have not seen any evidence for such a claim.

That's because you've never bothered looking.
