  AMY, VICKY, AND ANDY CHILD PORNOGRAPHY VICTIM ASSISTANCE ACT OF 2017

  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee 
on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of the bill 
(S. 2152) to amend title 18, United States Code, to provide for 
assistance for victims of child pornography, and for other purposes, 
and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania?
  There was no objection.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                S. 2152

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child 
     Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2017''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The demand for child pornography harms children because 
     it drives production, which involves severe and often 
     irreparable child sexual abuse and exploitation.
       (2) The harms caused by child pornography begin, but do not 
     end, with child sex abuse 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. Multiple 
     actors independently commit intentional crimes that combine 
     to produce an indivisible injury to a victim.
       (7) It is the intent of Congress that victims of child 
     pornography be fully compensated for all 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.

     SEC. 3. DETERMINING RESTITUTION.

       (a) Determining Restitution.--Section 2259(b) of title 18, 
     United States Code, is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1)--
       (A) by striking ``The order'' and inserting ``Except as 
     provided in paragraph (2), the order''; and
       (B) by striking ``as determined by the court pursuant to 
     paragraph (2)'' after ``of the victim's losses'';
       (2) by striking paragraph (3);
       (3) by redesignating paragraph (2) as paragraph (3); and
       (4) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:
       ``(2) Restitution for trafficking in child pornography.--If 
     the defendant was convicted for trafficking in child 
     pornography, the order of restitution under this section 
     shall direct the defendant to pay the victim (through the 
     appropriate court mechanism) an amount of restitution 
     determined by the court as follows:
       ``(A) Determining the full amount of a victim's losses.--
     The court shall determine the full amount of the victim's 
     losses that were incurred or are reasonably projected to be 
     incurred by the victim as a result of the trafficking in 
     child pornography.
       ``(B) Determining a restitution amount.--After completing 
     the determination required under subparagraph (A), the court 
     shall enter an order of restitution against the defendant in 
     favor of the victim in an amount which is between $3,000 and 
     1 percent of the full amount of the victim's losses.
       ``(C) Termination of payment.--A victim's total aggregate 
     recovery pursuant to this section shall not exceed the full 
     amount of the victim's demonstrated losses. After the victim 
     has received restitution in the full amount of the victim's 
     losses as measured by the greatest amount of such losses 
     found in any case involving that victim that has resulted in 
     a final restitution order under this

[[Page H9370]]

     section, the liability of each defendant who is or has been 
     ordered to pay restitution for such losses to that victim 
     shall be terminated. The court may direct the victim to 
     provide information concerning the amount of restitution the 
     victim has been paid in other cases for the same losses.''.
       (b) Additional Definitions.--Section 2259(c) of title 18, 
     United States Code, is amended--
       (1) in the heading, by striking ``Definition'' and 
     inserting ``Definitions'';
       (2) by striking ``For purposes'' and inserting the 
     following:
       ``(4) Victim.--For purposes'';
       (3) by striking ``under this chapter, including, in the 
     case'' and inserting ``under this chapter. In the case'';
       (4) by inserting after ``or any other person appointed as 
     suitable by the court,'' the following: ``may assume the 
     crime victim's rights under this section,''; and
       (5) by inserting before paragraph (4), as so designated, 
     the following:
       ``(1) Child pornography production.--For purposes of this 
     section and section 2259A, the term `child pornography 
     production' means conduct proscribed by subsections (a) 
     through (c) of section 2251, section 2252A(g) (in cases in 
     which the series of felony violations involves at least 1 of 
     the violations listed in this section), section 2260(a), or 
     any offense under chapter 109A or chapter 117 that involved 
     the production of child pornography, as defined in section 
     2256.
       ``(2) Full amount of the victim's losses.--For purposes of 
     this section, the term `full amount of the victim's losses' 
     includes any costs incurred, or reasonably projected to be 
     incurred in the future, by the victim, and in the case of a 
     trafficking in child pornography conviction, as a proximate 
     result of all trafficking in child pornography offenses 
     involving the same victim, including--
       ``(A) medical services relating to physical, psychiatric, 
     or psychological care;
       ``(B) physical and occupational therapy or rehabilitation;
       ``(C) necessary transportation, temporary housing, and 
     child care expenses;
       ``(D) lost income;
       ``(E) attorneys' fees, as well as other costs incurred; and
       ``(F) any other relevant losses incurred by the victim.
       ``(3) Trafficking in child pornography.--For purposes of 
     this section and section 2259A, the term `trafficking in 
     child pornography' means conduct proscribed by section 
     2251(d), 2251A, 2252, 2252A, section 2252A(g) (in cases in 
     which the series of felony violations exclusively involves 
     violations listed in this section), or section 2260(b).''.
       (c) Clerical Amendment.--Section 1593(b)(3) of title 18, 
     United States Code, is amended by striking ``section 
     2259(b)(3)'' and inserting ``section 2259(c)(2)''.

     SEC. 4. DEFINED MONETARY ASSISTANCE.

     adding at the end the following:

                    Amendment Offered by Mr. Marino

  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child 
     Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018''.

     SEC. 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.

     SEC. 3. DETERMINING RESTITUTION.

       (a) Determining Restitution.--Section 2259(b) of title 18, 
     United States Code, is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1)--
       (A) by striking ``The order'' and inserting ``Except as 
     provided in paragraph (2), the order''; and
       (B) by striking ``as determined by the court pursuant to 
     paragraph (2)'' after ``of the victim's losses'';
       (2) by striking paragraph (3);
       (3) by redesignating paragraph (2) as paragraph (3); and
       (4) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:
       ``(2) Restitution for trafficking in child pornography.--If 
     the defendant was convicted of trafficking in child 
     pornography, the court shall order restitution under this 
     section in an amount to be determined by the court as 
     follows:
       ``(A) Determining the full amount of a victim's losses.--
     The court shall determine the full amount of the victim's 
     losses that were incurred or are reasonably projected to be 
     incurred by the victim as a result of the trafficking in 
     child pornography depicting the victim.
       ``(B) Determining a restitution amount.--After completing 
     the determination required under subparagraph (A), the court 
     shall order restitution in an amount that reflects the 
     defendant's relative role in the causal process that 
     underlies the victim's losses, but which is no less than 
     $3,000.
