You don't go to prison for possessing images of adults being raped, last I checked. Or adults being murdered. Or children being murdered. I don't think making the images illegal is a good way to handle things.

You do in some countries. For instance, knowingly possessing video of the Christchurch massacre is illegal in New Zealand, due to a ruling by NZ’s Chief Censor (yes, that’s the actual title), and punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

Personally, I prefer the American way.
