Teen Porn

    I was using my boyfriend's laptop earlier and I noticed some things that had been searched for in google. Some of them were harmless enough searches like 'teenies', 'teen pu**y' etc. One really grabbed my attention though - 'very young girls'.

    I've no problem with porn at all and I can't understand girls who go mad when they find out their boyfriend watches/uses porn. The teeney bit I can handle. I'm looking for comments on the 'very young girls' search. I really don't like this.

    Is this absolutely terrible? Or is it a case of a bad call during a 'heated moment'?

    I didn't say anything to him because I wanted to get my head around it first. Also, the other lads he lives with use the computer too.

    I would not look to deeply into this. Fair enough, all guys look at porn and you seem okay with that (in some way).

    You seem to be thinking about this too much though. If the search had "early teen" or something in it then i would be more concerned. As you say also, it could have been any of the other people he lives with.

    I'd give him the benefit of the doubt this time. If you still upset then confront him in a joky way about it. Like the next time you use the computer say "Oh my God, who is looking for yound girls on the internet?" Judge his reaction then!

    That's dodgy alright, although it could have been one of the other lads he lives with.

    If you look at his "temporary internet files" you might be able to see when those sites were accessed. If he was home alone at that time...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    TBH I wouldn't worry about it unless its more than just one search word. What he was searching for and what you think that sound like might be completely different.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Cheeky_gal


    Eh, would that not be considered complete paedophilia? :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,579 ✭✭✭Webmonkey


    I would not look into this much at all. He was probably so horny and wanted to be bad and try find some 17 year old girl or something meaning she was under 18 - probably would have turned him on more. Almost certain he was not looking to find children if that is what you were thinking as he would have probably used different keywords.

    Anyways I would not worry about it!

    i would be very worried about that
    it sounds to me like he was looking for pictures of very young girls
    how young were the girls is the important question
    and u should investigate this further

    haha eh hello!?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,579 ✭✭✭Webmonkey


    Just noticed it was very young girls - Didn't see the very in there. Hmm


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,579 ✭✭✭Webmonkey


    That is true - OP, it all depends on what he thinks is very young. I doubt he is into what you are hoping he is not.

    I guarntee if he was searching in for that google he wasn't going to find child porn.

    I note he did not use the word child.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭togster


    im sorry but "very" would bother me. of course he was looking for underage porn. thinking anything else is fooling yourself.

    lol and how do you no that?

    I cant believe some peoples posts on this. In my opinion I would investigate this further. And take it very seriously.

    1. We don't even know if he was the one who searched for it.
    2. Theres no way you can say with any certainty at all he was searching for underage porn, I wouldn't go jumping to such a damaging conclusion based on one search. If you looked through my search history I'm sure you'd find alot of odd things that could be taken out of context. Maybe he was just looking for a suitable image to reply to a thread with, I do it all the time.

    Google isn't one for leaving child porn results in their index.

    I would be worried. Look in his recently viewed web pages and you might get more of an idea of what the content is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    It's possible he's interested in "jailbait". These are teenage girls, clothed, showing a lot of skin or in suggestive poses. It's very different than child porn, but it's still a bit dodgy alright.

    What age is your boyfriend OP?

    yeah mine too. but you wouldn't find anything with "very young girls" on it. Im sorry but i would never search "very young girls" because i suspect some of the results i would get would be suspect to say the least. My interpretation of very young would be under 18. An 18 y o is an adult, albeit a young woman not a young girl


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭spinandscribble


    thats it. its the girl bit. very young woman is 18 maybe even 17. 'girls' a completely different ball game.

    This part seems too of gone over everyone's head.

    The mixed responses match what's going on in my head. At one end I'm thinking 'wow, that's way out of order wtf!' and at the other end I'm thinking 'he picked an ambiguous search term while looking for legal porn'.

    He's not very net-savvy, leading to more confusion:
    A. If he was looking for child porn, he may well have thought he would get if from google
    B. As noted by another user, he didn't include the word 'child' or any sexual term in the search -although 'girl' to me is a female under 18
    C. He doesn't post on forums so I can't think of any other reason why he would be searching for 'very young girls'. It was definitely a sexual thing.

    There were no other searches for anything other than teens, which is a relief.

    He's 30btw so it is possible that a 'young girl' to him is one of the legal age. A 'very young girl', I'm not so sure.

    When there are any rape cases in the media (I don't mean just underage) he reacts like 'that bastard, if anyone did anything like that to my sister I'd ****ing kill him'. I don't think he's a sexual deviant but the fact remains that he did search for 'very young girls' (assuming it was him, not one of the other lads).

    How do I check temporary internet files? I had a quick look on my own laptop there and can't figure it out. Will looking in the history help? Or, God forbid, if there was anything untoward looked at, will this just bring it up for me? I dont' want that!

    He may have been looking into purchasing a gift for a niece. None of the words 'very' 'young' and 'girls' are overtly sexual although it might be a tad disingenuous to suggest this.

    Paedophilia is the sexual attraction to children. Prepubescence being a requirement. Finding a sexually mature teenage girl physically appealing is normal. Acting on it however, if they're below the age of consent is statutory "rape". People guilty of this crime are not labeled paedophiles or child molesters. Nor are they sick, they're usually just idiots.

    A lot of porn is labeled "Teen". It usually means 18-20 year old girls that happen to look young. It's a pretty innocent thing to be looking at IMO.

    Indeed.

    ok,phew every time i go to reply a new post catches my eye.that and goddamed timeouts.
    OP if i were you i'd do some more sleuthing, i dunno what your area of computer expertise is though, but everyone probably knows that you never really totally delete something of a computer. (well almost never)
    i did my social studies assignment of child pornography and the like in college, and people are often caught out.
    that said i wouldnt jump to the conclusion (at least for now) that thats what he(or housemate) was up to.
    Also, theres a whole series of porn on the internet called teen porn,and the models/actresses whatever, are all 18 +. its just they look younger (theres disclaimers and crap)
    Jailbait is still dodgey is correct.
    (found that out when posting some of the humor posters joking about jailbait and got me an infraction.then again i found out at least one of the models was one of those "teen models" and 20 lol)
    Tweeny porn (i kid you not) was a term in the papers a good bit, and that crap is totally illegal.(Tween as in between teen)

    'very young girls'. however is a very worrying search to come across and i totally understand why you'd freak out. but dont give the game away so to speak (if he's done nothing wrong,trust issues may arise/if he has,he could cover his tracks).
    if you want to go down the road of reporting him,there is an irish branch for such things, i'll go dig out that essay and find the links and info.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 29,509 Mod ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    I note he did not use the word child.
    Spot on the nose.

    OP, if whoever put in those search terms was looking for child porn, would they not have searched for that, or for similar terms?

    While I can understand your being concerned, I would be slow to jump to conclusions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 412 ✭✭paul666


    is there a computer expert out there that could show this girl how to get into his internet history.
    sorry im not that good on that kind of stuff


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    Assuming he's using Internet Explorer...

    Open Internet Explorer

    Tools -> Internet Options

    In the "Browsing History" section in the middle of the screen click "Settings"

    Click "View Files" on the right of the screen.

    A window will pop up.

    Have a look at the websites in there. Note some of the "Internet Address" links may be from banner adverts which are hosted somewhere else, i.e. it doesn't mean he definitely went to that Internet Address himself.

    He doesn't post on forums so I can't think of any other reason why he would be searching for 'very young girls'. It was definitely a sexual thing.

    That's ridiculous. Because he doesn't post in forums, then it means it's definitely a sexual thing. Would you think it was sexual if he searched for donkey, bicycle or oven mitt?

    When you say you "noticed some things in google" I presume you mean the autocomplete kicked in (it's the box that drops down when you start typing). If so then those terms could have been typed in there at any stage during the life of the computer by anyone who has used it.

    I think it's fair to assume, at least for the sake of this topic, that he was searching for porn, or some kind of sexual content.
