"What do you imagine child pornography to be?"
So asked Det. Sgt. Paul Gillespie of a group of Microsoft executives back in 2003, as he sought their help in gaining a hold on the crime on the Internet.
Most of us would not want to answer that question; most of us have never wanted to picture child porn. But if we had to answer, we would likely imagine creepy guys hunched over computers in their basements, staring at pictures of undressed girls.
As Julian Sher found while researching his new book "One Child at a Time: The Global Fight to Rescue Children from Online Predators," today's child porn is so much more than that. Sher calls the trade in child porn the new face of crime in the 21st century."
