Child erotica is sexually stimulating content pertaining to children that is not child pornography. Courts will sometimes use the presence of child erotica as proof of a defendant's sexual interest in children.[1]

Some search warrants have called for searching for, and seizing, child erotica.[2] In U.S. v. Edwards, the 10th circuit noted that the fact that people who possess child pornography often also possess child erotica does not mean that the reverse is true, i.e. that those who possess child erotica are likely to possess child pornography. The court, citing Jacobson,[3] noted that those who disagree with a law tend to obey it anyway.[4]
