Summary
The Child Obscenity and Pornography Prevention Act of 2003 (H.R. 1161) seeks to expand federal criminal laws regarding the production, distribution, and possession of child pornography, specifically targeting digital and computer-generated images that are indistinguishable from real minors. The bill would increase penalties for repeat offenders of child sexual abuse and pornography laws while granting law enforcement broader authority to intercept communications during investigations of these crimes. Additionally, it would allow internet service providers to more easily report suspected child pornography violations to state and local authorities and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
