Description

Sex offender registration; child pornography; penalties. Requires a sex offender to include in the registration information any electronic mail address and any instant messaging screen name that he uses or will use. A sex offender must register any changes in email addresses, instant message, or other identity information within three days of such information changing. The bill defines child pornography as sexually explicit visual material which utilizes or has as a subject a person less than 18 years of age. The bill establishes enhanced penalties for the production, distribution, solicitation, participation, financing, or photographing of child pornography. The bill also clarifies that a person depicted or who presents the appearance of being less than 18 years of age in a sexually explicit manner is prima facie presumed to be less than 18 years of age. The bill repeals 18.2-374.1:2 but inserts similar language in 18.2-374.1:1 relating to facilitating payment for or access to child pornography. Read the Bill »
