Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'kiddie' (a child) + 'porn' (sexually explicit material) yields pornography involving children. A B1 learner who knows both words would very likely infer this sense; the moral/legal implications (illegality and harm) are additional but do not obscure the basic compositional meaning, and similar compounds exist in many languages.
Etymology
Kiddie porn joins kiddie, a familiar form of 'kid' meaning 'child', and porn, short for 'pornography' meaning 'sexual pictures and films'. So it literally names sexual images that show children, and is used to refer to material that is 'illegal' and 'harmful'.
