PENCE AMENDMENT SET TO PASS HOUSE: NEW REPORTING PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN IN FILM INDUSTRY
By Congressman Mike Pence
Tomorrow we will consider the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 in the U.S. House. This bill has a lot of good initiatives that will protect our children by improving sex offender registration, stopping child pornography and provide local law enforcement officials with tools needed to track those who prey upon children.
Included in the bill is the Pence Amendment that will crack down on "home pornographers." The Senate passed my amendment as part of the bill.
Check out this Reuters article for more details about the Senate's decision.
Basically my bill ensures that children are not exploited in the production and distribution of pornography. My legislation provides increased protection to victims of child pornography and strengthens the hand of law enforcement in investigating and bringing charges in obscenity and child pornography cases. It also closes a loophole that allows pornographers to exploit children by using them in productions that include simulated sexual activity and then claim that they believed the children to be over age eighteen.
