SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Internet has facilitated the growth of a multi-
        billion dollar global market for images and video of children 
        being sexually-displayed, raped, and tortured, far exceeding 
        the capacity of law enforcement to respond at the Federal, 
        State, and local level.
            (2) The explosion of child pornography trafficking is 
        claiming very young victims. Research by the Department of 
        Justice, the University of New Hampshire, and the National 
        Center for Missing and Exploited Children indicates that among 
        those arrested for possession of child pornography, 83 percent 
        have images of children 6-12 years old, 39 percent have images 
        of children 3-5 years old, and 19 percent have images of 
        children under the age of 3 years old.
            (3) The images and videos being trafficked typically depict 
        sexual assaults that are both graphic and brutal. The research 
        described in paragraph (2) also indicates that 80 percent of 
        known child pornography possessors have images of children 
        being sexually penetrated and 21 percent have images depicting 
        children bound, gagged, blindfolded, or ``otherwise enduring 
        sadistic sex.'' Just one percent of such possessors restricted 
        their collecting to images of simple child nudity.
            (4) Millions of children and teens in the United States are 
        at risk from sexual predators who are hunting, stalking, and 
        luring minors online. Along with the incredible access to the 
        world offered our children by the Internet, the Internet also 
        offers the world access to our children.
            (5) The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force program 
        (ICAC Program) of the Department of Justice has identified 
        millions of child pornography transactions involving images and 
        video of child sexual assault from millions of computer IP 
        addresses worldwide.
            (6) The ICAC Program has been highly successful in creating 
        and sustaining an emerging national network of 46 Federal, 
        State, and local task forces, which form the backbone of 
        national readiness to combat child exploitation.
            (7) In testimony before Congress, law enforcement experts 
        have expressed consensus that lack of dedicated forensic 
        analysis capacity is a severe problem at the Federal, State, 
        and local level, severely limiting the number of predators that 
        can be interdicted and children that can be identified and 
        rescued.
            (8) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States 
        Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and the United States 
        Postal Inspection Service have each developed highly 
        specialized and successful child exploitation investigative 
        capabilities, yet these agencies have testified to Congress 
        that they must triage the overwhelming number of child 
        exploitation crimes and cannot investigate a large percentage 
        of known crimes.
            (9) Child pornography and online child enticement crimes 
        have among the highest conviction rates of any child sexual 
        offense, and the research funded by the Department of Justice 
        indicates that the majority of child pornography offenders have 
        committed or attempted direct sexual contact offenses against 
        children. Investigating and prosecuting these predators is one 
        of the most concrete and measurable strategies for the 
        prevention of future child sexual abuse.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act, the following definitions shall apply:
            (1) Child exploitation.--
