From the information I can gather, it seems its legal to view online images in the US. But I'm struggling to find confirmation. It's a greyer area than one would think.
It's probably similar to drugs. It's not illegal to do cocaine but everything else along the journey to using it is illegal so it's not necessary to make a law saying you can't get high on it. By viewing child porn you're probably breaking existing laws related to possession, transmission or promotion so it doesn't seem necessary to outlaw viewing it specifically.
You're probably right, but such presumptions aren't facts. Neither you or I know for fact, that it's illegal to view child porn on an online browser, despite us both being aware of what common sense suggests. Until I know for certain, I won't make the presumption.
Is it normal that my boyfriend was looking at pictures of child porn?
