Child Pornography Problem Growing in Sweden

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The number of Swedes seeking out sexual images involving children on the Internet is on the rise, the Swedish chapter of the anti-child pornography group Ecpat warned.

"Tens of thousands of people try every day to get at material that documents aggravated abuse of children, which in itself is a catastrophe," head of Swedish Ecpat Helena Karlen told public radio.

Ecpat, which stands for End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes, has joined forces with Swedish police and 12 Internet operators to block access across Sweden to sites containing child pornography.
