The Italian parliament introduced a new crime in article 600-4 paragraph 3 of the penal code, which punishes “(intentional) access to +18 material”. Previously, access to +18 for children went unpunished, since the crime of possession (detenzione) involved at least downloading.

The Italian court said that possession of this material is a crime of concrete danger and, in the case of comics, the danger is represented by the evocation of real situations in which “children are reduced to mere sexual objects .
