How do people get into trouble downloading underage pictures?

Answer

Such sites are monitored by federal agencies such as the FBI, FCC, and by state agencies such as HTCU and ASACP. The majority of sites offering "kiddie porn" are outside the U.S., this however does not prevent authorities for identifying and prosecuting persons who are involved in the use of and/or contribution and/or distribution. It is illegal and in most cases a felony offense, to view, photograph, distribute or in anyway exploit minor children in such a manner.
