As many as 200,000 Australians may have deliberately watched child pornography over the last year.
A survey of roughly 13,000 people, released by the Australian Institute of Criminology on Tuesday, found the vast majority of respondents had not come across this kind of content.
However, about five per cent had encountered sexually explicit material of children and though most did so unintentionally, about 101 respondents - 0.8 per cent - had purposefully viewed the content.
