Police have sought the assistance of the Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) to obtain details of people who operate pornographic websites, which allegedly feature local men and women, the Children and Women’s Bureau told Court yesterday.
In a report on pornographic websites, police said the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) had informed them that though it had banned a number of such pornographic websites, the TRC was unable to provide details of people who operated them as did so from overseas.
The Children and Women’s Bureau said due to that reason they had sought the assistance of the CERT and the SLIIT to probe pornographic operators.
Colombo Fort Magistrate ordered the police to file an investigation report regarding the matter on February 23 next year.
The Children and Women’s Bureau said pornographic material found on the web could easily induce children, young people and adults to sexual crimes. The Bureau told court that it was carrying out investigations and would take legal action against anyone found guilty under the provisions of the Obscene Publications Act No 22 of 1983.
