Summary/Abstract: Before all, this paper relates to the criminal act of showing, obtaining and possessing of pornography material and abusing an underage person for pornography from the Article 185 of the Criminal Code, as well as the criminal act of using computer network or communication by other technical means for committing criminal acts against sexual freedom of an underage person from the Article 185b of the Criminal Code. In the introductory part it is emphasized that the generally accepted attitude concerning pornography is that criminal-legal intervention has no place when it comes to adults, and that only children (persons under the age 14) should be given criminal-legal protection. However, since the relevant international legal documents expand the criminal-legal protection under the certain conditions to minors (persons aged between 14 and 18) as well, it was also done in the Criminal Code of Serbia in 2009. A bigger problem today than making pornography accessible to children, i.e. minors, represents the so called child pornography, i.e. using children and minors for producing pornography material. Therefore, in the following part it is pointed out to the international conventions and the definition of child pornography is given, i.e. pornography relevant to the criminal act from the Article 185 of the Criminal Code.
