Hotels and airlines will no longer allow the use of the Internet on their premises by anyone searching for child pornography or sites that peddle child sex tourism.

If any of their employees is found helping tourists abuse children, these industries will ensure the workers are sacked and arrested. Besides, all employees will be trained to keep an eye on paedophiles.

These are some of the guidelines framed for the tourism industry to curb child sex tourism. The guidelines have been drawn up by Pacific Asia Travel Association’s (PATA) India chapter and the ministry of tourism. Sources said state tourism departments will start implementing them in the next two months.

New Delhi: The government will crack down on the tourism industry if they don’t stop visitors from bringing children into their hotel rooms for sex or watching child pornography on the Internet.

The Centre has sent hotel owners and tour operators a set of guidelines and a code of conduct to prevent the sexual exploitation of children by guests. This means the tourism ministry not only wants all hotels and cyber cafes to keep an eye on what people watch on the Internet but also deny them access to child pornography content on websites and television.

The code forbids tourists from seeking out children for sex via chat rooms, discussions groups etc. Staff in hotels and cyber cafes at all tourist spots have been asked to alert local police if they find child pornography material on guests.

The Conservatives plan to introduce a new bill that would compel Internet service providers (ISPs) to report child pornography to the police, CTV News has learned.

The proposed legislation would require ISPs to report to a designated agency on tips they receive about websites where child pornography is available. They would also have to notify the police if the ISP believes a child porn offence has been committed using their Internet service.

Similar legislation is already in place in the United States.

Child rights advocates have long lobbied for the measure. Canada is the world’s second largest home to online child pornography and the second-largest online seller of child pornography material, such as images, videos or memberships.

According to the Canadian Centre for Child protection, about half of all child pornography images feature children under the age of eight and nearly a third of those images feature serious sexual assaults. (more…)

They were identified following information from an Internet user in Extremadura

Three people have been arrested in Alicante province for allegedly using P2P file sharing to distribute images of child pornography over the Internet. Two of the three Spaniards under suspicion were arrested in Pedreguer and the third in Orihuela.

A fourth suspect has been identified in Badajoz, Extremadura, but has not been taken into custody.

Three property searches took place in Alicante province last week, during which officers seized 9 hard discs, a laptop computer and other items containing a number of pornographic images and videos. It’s understood from EFE that the investigation began in Badajoz last year on information from a member of the public on the video seen on the file sharing program.
