Bill > HR6715

This bill, titled the "Child Predators Accountability Act," aims to strengthen protections against the sexual exploitation of minors by amending existing federal law, specifically sections of title 18 of the United States Code. The core changes involve expanding the definition of "engage in" within the context of sexually explicit depictions of minors. Previously, this term primarily referred to a minor's actual participation in sexual conduct. However, this bill broadens it to include situations where a minor is depicted engaging in such conduct, even if they did not actively participate, as long as the person responsible intentionally included the minor in the visual depiction. This amendment is applied to laws concerning sexual exploitation of children and the importation of sexually explicit depictions of minors, thereby enhancing the accountability of individuals who create or distribute such material, even if the minor was not directly involved in the act itself but was still depicted in a sexually explicit manner.
