“Amy is an unwitting porn star. She is among the most-downloaded in the reviled genre of child smut. Photos of her sexual abuse at the age of 8 and 9 by her uncle have proliferated to the point that every day, sometimes several times a day, someone is caught with the more than decade-old images. Every time this happens, she’s notified by police and reminded that uncountable strangers have gotten off on the trauma she suffered — and, once again, she feels victimized. Her uncle is in jail, but what of these vicarious abusers? She’s hoping to make them pay, too. The 20-year-old is seeking restitution — to the tune of $3.4 million — from those caught in possession of these images.” (02/08/10)
