Child Predators Accountability Act
United States119th CongressHR-6715House of Representatives
Updated: Jan 13, 2026
Summary
The Child Predators Accountability Act of 2025 aims to strengthen federal laws against the sexual exploitation and sexually explicit depiction of minors. It achieves this by amending sections of Title 18 of the U.S. Code related to sexual exploitation of children and the importation of sexually explicit depictions of minors. Specifically, the bill expands the scope of prohibited activities to include instances where a minor is depicted engaging in sexually explicit conduct, in addition to direct coercion for participation. Furthermore, it introduces a new definition for "engage in" within the context of visual depictions, clarifying that it covers both a minor's actual participation and their intentional depiction in sexually explicit content, regardless of their direct involvement.
