Minor for
Importation into the United States
|
Section 2260 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits the use of a
minor
outside the United States to engage in sexually explicit conduct for use in
material to be imported or the transportation of a minor with the intent to
create such visual depictions. Subsection (b) prohibits a person outside of
the
United States from knowingly receiving, transporting, selling, distributing
a
visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, intending
such
depiction be imported into the United States.
The penalty for a person who violates this section, or conspires or
attempts to do so, is imprisonment for not more than 10 years and/or a fine.
A
prior conviction under Chapter 109A or Chapter 110 of Title 18 raises the
penalty
to a maximum sentence of 20 years and/or a fine.
