New Law Makes Viewing Child Porn
a Crime in New York State

Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed a new law making it a crime in New York to intentionally access child pornography on the Internet.

The New York Supreme Court ruled in May that the state law prohibiting possessing or procuring pornographic images of children applied to downloaded files, but did not apply to temporary files automatically stored from sites that were merely viewed.

The law that took effect Friday makes it a felony for anyone who "knowingly accesses, with intent to view" any performance of a sexual act by a child younger than 16. Offenders can face up to four years in prison.
