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.

Break out the Turkish Delight, Netflix is taking on The Chronicles of Narnia.
The streaming service is adapting the beloved fantasy franchise into new films based on the seven fantasy novels that launched in 1950 with C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The Chronicles of Narnia is the tale of four British children during World War II who escape into an alternate magical world.
“It is wonderful to know that folks from all over are looking forward to seeing more of Narnia, and that the advances in production and distribution technology have made it possible for us to make Narnian adventures come to life all over the world,” said Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis, in a statement released by Netflix. “Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them towards this goal.”
It’s not yet clear how many pieces of content will be produced and what form they will take. Producer Mark Gordon describes “multiple productions” and “both stellar feature-length and episodic programming.” Gordon added, “Narnia is one of those rare properties that spans multiple generations and geographies.”
The Narnia books have been adapted several times before, most recently by Disney for three films — 2005’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, 2008’s Prince Caspian, and 2010’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. A film version of the fourth book in the saga, The Silver Chair, was supposed to start filming this year under director Joe Johnston with Gordon producing, but it sounds like this deal is effectively overwriting that one.
“C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles of Narnia stories have resonated with generations of readers around the world,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer, Netflix. “Families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia, and we’re thrilled to be their home for years to come.”
One immediate concern of fans after the announcement was made was whether the Netflix versions would water down the books’ Christian themes — a frequent criticism of the titles distributed by Disney. “I do not trust Netflix to do justice for the series! They will be trying to take God out of it like other companies have [for other] Christian movies,” wrote one commenter on the official Narnia Facebook page.
The move comes as HBO goes into the final season of the biggest televised fantasy title of all time, Game of Thrones, and Amazon is working on a prequel adaption of The Lord of the Rings.
