1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The demand for child pornography harms children because it drives production, which involves severe child sexual abuse and exploitation. (2) The harms caused by child pornography begin, but do not end, with child sex assault because child pornography is a permanent record of that abuse and trafficking in those images compounds the harm to the child. (3) In Paroline v. United States (2014), the Supreme Court recognized that every viewing of child pornography is a repetition of the victim’s abuse . (4) The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children has stated that for victims of child pornography, the sexual abuse of the child, the memorialization of that abuse which becomes child pornography, and its subsequent distribution and viewing become psychologically intertwined and each compound the harm suffered by the child-victim . (5) Victims suffer continuing and grievous harm as a result of knowing that a large, indeterminate number of individuals have viewed and will in the future view images of their childhood sexual abuse. Harms of this sort are a major reason that child pornography is outlawed. (6) The unlawful collective conduct of every individual who reproduces, distributes, or possesses the images of a victim’s childhood sexual abuse plays a part in sustaining and aggravating the harms to that individual victim. (7) It is the intent of Congress that victims of child pornography be compensated for the harms resulting from every perpetrator who contributes to their anguish. Such an aggregate causation standard reflects the nature of child pornography and the unique ways that it actually harms victims. 3.
