 Welcome to the Child Exploitation and
Obscenity Section (CEOS) website. Created in 1987, the mission of the
Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) is to protect the
welfare of America’s
children and communities by enforcing federal criminal statutes
relating to the exploitation of children and obscenity.
As the
nation’s experts in child exploitation and obscenity issues, CEOS
leads the Department of Justice in its endeavor to continuously improve
the enforcement of federal child exploitation and obscenity laws and
prevent the exploitation of children and families. CEOS attorneys
prosecute defendants who have violated federal child exploitation and
obscenity laws and also assist the 93 United States Attorney Offices in
investigations, trials, and appeals related to these offenses. In
addition, CEOS attorneys perform other vital functions within the
Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, including providing
advice and training to federal prosecutors, law enforcement personnel,
and Department of Justice officials, developing prosecution policies,
legislation, government practices and agency regulations, and
participating in national and international meetings on training and
policy development. In all aspects of their work, CEOS attorneys seek
to blend prosecutorial experience with policy expertise in order to
create innovative solutions to the threat posed by those who violate
child exploitation and obscenity laws.
