Summary/Abstract: The article puts under analysis the crime of child pornography as committed by minors using IT systems. The paper is based on the definition of the crime as set forth in art. 374 of the New Penal Code, transposing and implementing the European regulatory documents on this subject, and then briefly analysing the forms of this crime. Afterwards, several procedural aspects are presented in relation to the prosecution and trial of the crime of child pornography committed by minors. Further on, reference is made to several cases in the Romanian case law where the perpetrators are minors, presenting a modus operandi used on the social networks, which, more often than not, is not even understood to the extent of the social danger anticipated by the legislators. In the end, the conclusions are accompanied by some recommendations.
