OUTRAGE ABOUT CHILD PORN LAW
Filming of children above 14 years of age legal in Hungary
By our correspondent Runa Hellinga
BUDAPEST-Hungarian opposition parties are outraged about a proposition to legalize the filming of children age 14 and older having sex. The proposition is about children who consent to the recordings. The pornographic recordings should also be strictly for personal use only. But according to critics the propositions will open the door to the production of child porn.
The proposed law is an effect of the adaptation of Hungarian law to EU-regulations. These demand a stricter policy towards child porn. According to the current law the production of child porn is a misdemeanor. Under the new law it will be punishable by 3 to 8 years in jail.
the Hungarian Free Democrats, the smallest liberal government partner, feared that the new law might lead to jailtime for children making recordings on their mobile phone for fun. A member of the Chamber: "We have to handle the adults who abuse children."
According to minister Petr?nie recordings would be allowed, on condition that the child has agreed to them. He believes that if children of age 14 and up can legally have sex, they can also agree or disagree with the recording.
