27 | 27 | | (1) There is a correlation between possession of 1 |
---|
28 | 28 | | the obscene dolls, and robots, and possession of and 2 |
---|
29 | 29 | | participation in child pornography. 3 |
---|
30 | 30 | | (2) The physical features, and potentially the 4 |
---|
31 | 31 | | ‘‘personalities’’ of the robots are customizable or 5 |
---|
32 | 32 | | morphable and can resemble actual children. 6 |
---|
33 | 33 | | (3) Some owners and makers of the robots have 7 |
---|
34 | 34 | | made their children interact with the robots as if the 8 |
---|
35 | 35 | | robots are members of the family. 9 |
---|
36 | 36 | | (4) The robots can have settings that simulate 10 |
---|
37 | 37 | | rape. 11 |
---|
38 | 38 | | (5) The dolls and robots not only lead to rape, 12 |
---|
39 | 39 | | but they make rape easier by teaching the rapist 13 |
---|
40 | 40 | | about how to overcome resistance and subdue the 14 |
---|
41 | 41 | | victim. 15 |
---|
42 | 42 | | (6) For users and children exposed to their use, 16 |
---|
43 | 43 | | the dolls and robots normalize submissiveness and 17 |
---|
44 | 44 | | normalize sex between adults and minors. 18 |
---|
45 | 45 | | (7) As the Supreme Court has recognized, ob-19 |
---|
46 | 46 | | scene material is often used as part of a method of 20 |
---|
47 | 47 | | seducing child victims. 21 |
---|
48 | 48 | | (8) The dolls and robots are intrinsically related 22 |
---|
49 | 49 | | to abuse of minors, and they cause the exploitation, 23 |
---|
50 | 50 | | objectification, abuse, and rape of minors. 24 |
