Crystal Hefner and the nonprofit controlling Hefner's documents are in a dispute over the materials, which feature intimate images of women. She says the docs "may include images of girls who were underage at the time."
On the other hand, child sexual abuse material, and especially the shortened CSAM, feels very sterile as a term. I think “child porn” is by far a stronger term that evokes a more visceral reaction in the average person than CSAM.
