First arrests made under new law banning child porn on computers

The first arrests have been made under a new law which bans the downloading of child pornography in the Czech Republic, Mladá fronta Dnes reported on Wednesday. Seven people have been arrested and could face up to two years in prison under the new law, the daily added. The law, which came into effect at the end of last year, will be difficult to enforce, experts say, because it is hard to prove that suspects willfully and knowingly downloaded child porn onto their computers.
