Netflix may face an investigation over 'child pornography' claims | Daily Mail Online
Netflix is facing an investigation over claims that a film on its U.S. platform shows child pornography, it has emerged.
The Argentinian movie Desearas, meaning Desire, is said to show young girls, aged around seven and nine, in a suggestive scene involving pillows.
In a graphic scene one of the girls apparently brings herself to orgasm with the camera showing a close-up of her face, it is claimed.
The website PJ Media said it had reported the film to the FBI, the Department of Justice and to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
According to the website, some users have been sharing the clip on Facebook, many of them in protest, but to circulate it could still be against the law.
Department of Justice guidance says that pictures and video can be illegal even if they do not explicitly show sex, if they are 'sufficiently sexually suggestive'.
The rules say: 'Notably, the legal definition of sexually explicit conduct does not require that an image depict a child engaging in sexual activity.
'A picture of a naked child may constitute illegal child pornography if it is sufficiently sexually suggestive.
'Additionally, the age of consent for sexual activity in a given state is irrelevant; any depiction of a minor under 18 years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct is illegal.'
Investigation Launched After ‘Child Pornography’ Scene Found on Netflix
Investigation Launched After 'Child Pornography' Scene Found on Netflix
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has launched an investigation into a movie on Netflix that contains a scene of suspected child pornography, PJ Media‘s Megan Fox reported Wednesday.
Fox said she had seen complaints on social media about apparently illegal content in the 2017 Argentinian movie “Desire,” directed by Diego Kaplan.
The opening scene features two girls who Fox said appear to be about 7 and 9 years old playing “horse” on pillows. The older girl “begins to obviously masturbate” while the younger one watches, Fox said.
“The scene is graphic and includes an orgasm,” she wrote.
Fox said it clearly meets the description of “child pornography” under federal law. “Netflix should be in serious trouble over this,” she said

The scene in question shows the young girl jumping up and down on a pillow, playfully riding it like a horse, when she begins to orgasm. The scene is in slow-motion and closes in on the girl's face as she breathes heavily, which has offended those who took to social media to voice their concerns.
The film's director, Diego Kaplan, issued a statement to Indiewire in regards to the controversy. The full statement is below:
"'Desire' is a film. When we see a shark eating a woman on film, no one thinks the woman really died or that the shark was real. We work in a world of fiction; and, for me, before being a director comes being a father.
Of course this scene was filmed using a trick, which was that the girls were copying a cowboy scene from a film by John Ford. The girls never understood what they were doing, they were just copying what they were seeing on the screen. No adult interacted with the girls, other than the child acting coach. Everything was done under the careful surveillance of the girls' mothers. Because I knew this scene might cause some controversy at some point, there is 'Making Of' footage of the filming of the entire scene.
Everything works inside the spectators' heads, and how you think this scene was filmed will depend on your level of depravity."
Netflix has faced conservative backlash over a number of controversies this year. Users threatened to cancel subscriptions when Netflix appointed former UN Ambassador Susan Rice to its Board of Directors, and when the Obamas signed a producing deal with the streaming service. It has also recently faced conservative criticism over an upcoming animated superhero drag queen show called "Super Drags," which has a petition against it to stop the show from being released.
