Disseminating pornography to a minor is the act of showing pornography of any kind to a minor. This is often illegal in countries in which pornography is legal, and perhaps a more severe crime than disseminating pornography to adults, in other countries. The age under which it is illegal may or may not be the same as the age of consent. It is a felony offense in all fifty United States, with 18 being the cutoff age in most states.
