Steve Crow's had his fun with 'boobs on bikes'. Now it's time to face
the naked truth.
Crow's business sells, among other things, pseudo-child pornography which has been the subject of much controversy regarding its impact on child sexual abuse.
Forms of such pornography include young women acting as children engaged in sexual acts.
Crow’s business website sells DVDs with titles like, Creamy School Girls (see image, right), Taped College Confessions, and other titles like one that contains the f-word in association with sodomising "young girls"1.
Pseudo-child pornography has been outlawed in other countries amidst concerns that viewers of real child porn start with the virtual stuff, and paedophiles could use it to groom children for abuse.
Gail Dines, chairwoman of American studies at Wheelock College in Boston, says, "I've interviewed men who start at legal, pseudo-child pornography sites with women who are maybe 18 but look younger... That legitimizes their interest in children, it normalizes it, and they move on to illegal sites."2
Realistic pseudo-child pornography is illegal in the European Union; in Germany it is punishable by up to five years in prison. In the Australian state of Victoria, it is illegal to publish imagery that "describes or depicts a person who is, or appears to be, a minor engaging in sexual activity or depicted in an indecent sexual manner or context."3
Support Steve Crow's 'boobs on bikes' and you support the business of a man who caters to those with a fetish for sex with "young girls."
In August 2008, about 100,000 people crowded into Auckland's CBD for 'boobs on bikes': about 60 to protest against Mr Crow (Auckland Women's Centre and Stop Demand Foundation), and the rest to cheer him on.
