This bill broadens the scope of prohibited conduct under two federal criminal statutes related to the production of child pornography. 

Under current law, both statutes prohibit employing, using, persuading, inducing, enticing, or coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction or transmitting a live visual depiction of the conduct. 

This bill expands prohibited conduct to include employing, using, persuading, inducing, enticing, or coercing a minor to be depicted engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The bill also defines the term engage in to include a minor's presence in a such a depiction regardless of whether or not the minor is participating in the sexually explicit conduct.
