12 Here, aggravated child pornography consists exclusively of ‘making a habit or profession of child pornography’
(Article 240b Paragraph 2 of the Dutch Criminal Code, whether or not in combination with
Paragraph 1). In two instances, Article 248 (paragraph 1 in one instance and paragraph 2 in the other –
both in 2010) is recorded as the gravest offence. However, in view of the fact that this is recorded on a
case level (and therefore not on an offence level), it is not possible to determine whether Article 248
appears within the same offence as child pornography. As such, it is conceivable that the circumstances
of Article 248 that attract a more severe penalty relate to a sexual offence other than child pornography.
This may be a sexual offence committed upon a minor, but may also be a sexual offence committed
upon an adult. Therefore, these two cases have been categorised under ‘other sexual offences.’
13 Article 240b paragraph 1 of the Dutch Criminal Code.
14 Articles 244, 245 and 249 of the Dutch Criminal Code.
15 Articles 242, 243, 246, 247 (may also apply to offences committed upon minors) and 248 of the Dutch
Criminal Code (may also apply to offences committed upon minors and may also involve aggravated
child pornography).
