 It would seem to me that the victimization of the is only PART of the crime. It's also a breech of socially accepted moral norm. Which is why the crime isn't simply classified as sexual assault. So fake child porn escapes the victimization-of-a-child criticism. But still runs afoul of the moral code we all accept as part of society
