Previous research on child pornography has primarily focused on the consumption and distribution of the material – the consumer side. In this study, we turn the focus on the content of child pornography websites. While some research assessed the content, there was little consideration of gender. This paper assesses whether gender is important in correlating the presence of images of child exploitation in websites. The 300 websites examined were either directly, or indirectly connected to a known child pornography website. Results suggest that, although the majority of websites in the sample were oriented toward boy-related content, 1) the presence of girl keywords, and 2) an indicator of the sexualization of young girls were both associated with websites known to contain illegal images
