During the Clinton administration, obscenity prosecutions dropped more than 80 percent. In 1998, the Department of Justice prosecuted only eight obscenity cases. Even after pro-family groups met with Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder in 1998 and the new Assistant Attorney General James Robinson for the Criminal Division this year, the department made no progress in halting this critical problem. The public should not underestimate pornography's harm. Pornography destroys marriages and degrades women, said MIM President Robert W. Peters.
Pornography presents young people with a false and distorted image of human sexuality.
Its connection to crime is undeniable. Jeffrey Schoknecht not only viewed child pornography namely, young boys engaged in sex acts he downloaded and saved it on disks. Police detectives found boxes of computer equipment and arrested him. His neighbor tried to downplay the incident. Schoknecht and his partner are also the foster parents of two young boys.
