The proposal also calls for criminal prosecution of activities like 'grooming' (befriending children with the intention of sexually abusing them) and "sex tourism", even if the child abuse has taken place outside the EU. The Commission also wants more to be done to prevent these offences and to protect the victims. It particularly wants to make sure that offenders can get tailor-made treatment so that they don't abuse again."]]> http://www.communitydefense.org/wordpress/2010/03/29/european-commission-wants-stronger-sanctions-against-child-sexual-abuse-sexual-exploitation-and-child-pornography/feed/ 0
