page and others to see which aspects of child prostitution are of particular
interest to you. You might be

some succeed in leaving. Perhaps your
paper could focus on runaways and the abuse that led to their leaving. Other factors of interest might be poverty,
rejection, drug dependence, coercion, violence, addiction, hunger, neglect,
etc. On the other hand, you might
choose to write about the manipulative and dangerous adults who control this
activity. There is a lot to the

EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN
Penalties for
conviction of sexual exploitation of children vary and may include
imprisonment, fines, or both. The CLTG tried to enforce laws criminalizing
child sexual exploitation. There is no minimum
age for consensual sex or a statutory rape law. Pornography, including child
pornography, is illegal. Statutes prescribe a fine and period of imprisonment
not to exceed 15 years for conviction of child pornography offenses. Concluding
