Clinical forensic psychologist David Briggs, who works as a consultant with Jersey’s Probation Service, warns that the effects of exposure to inappropriate material at a young age are as concerning as they are unknown.
His comments come amid wider concerns that the proliferation of porn, which was once available only in top-shelf magazines, on the internet is normalising sexual behaviour among youngsters.
In an interview in today’s JEP, Mr Briggs explains that inappropriate sexual activity and access to hard-core images increases the risk of a person becoming a sex offender when combined with other factors.
