Does porn turn us into monsters?

John Maden’s 12 year-old niece, Tia Rigg, frequently babysat for his 10 year-old daughter. The girl spent a lot of time at her mother’s brother’s house, unknowing that her uncle had an obsession with violent child pornography and snuff movies. Madon had more than 2 000 explicit, level five category images of child porn and various violent texts.

Do you think the violent pornography and snuff movies this man watched influenced him to commit these terrible acts?
