In the US, CP was only outlawed within living memory, 50ish years ago. It feels like something that’s been illegal since cameras were invented but the notion of protecting children from sexual exploitation is distressingly recent.
I still remember that the “13 & 27 is an acceptable dating range” attitude by a lot of people. Like tween Justin Bieber was considered a sex icon (and not just by young girls). Its only been very recent since we value children being protected from predatory dynamics.
