And they perform from the privacy of home, while parents are nearby, beyond their children's closed bedroom doors. Minors, often under the online tutelage of adults, are opening for-pay pornography sites featuring their own images sent onto the Internet by inexpensive Webcams. Justin's dark coming-of-age story is a collateral effect of recent technological advances. From the seduction that began that day, this soccer-playing honor roll student was drawn into performing in front of the Webcam - undressing, showering, masturbating and even having sex - for an audience of more than 1,500 people who paid him, over the years, hundreds of thousands of dollars. So began the secret life of a teenager who was lured into selling images of his body on the Internet over the course of five years. 'So, I was kind of like, what's the difference?'

'I figured, I took off my shirt at the pool for nothing,' he said recently. The man explained that Justin could receive the money instantly and helped him open an account on, an online payment system. Now, on an afternoon in 2000, one member of his audience sent a proposal: he would pay Justin $50 to sit bare-chested in front of his Webcam for three minutes. To Justin, they seemed just like friends, ready with compliments and always offering gifts. Instead, he heard only from men who chatted with him by instant message as they watched his image on the Internet. Weeks before, Justin had hooked up a Web camera to his computer, hoping to use it to meet other teenagers online. But on this day, Justin Berry's fascination with cyberspace would change his life. He had never run with the popular crowd and long ago had turned to the Internet for the friends he craved. The 13-year-old boy sat in his California home, eyes fixed on a computer screen.
