SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child 
Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds the following:
        (1) The demand for child pornography harms children because it 
    drives production, which involves severe child sexual abuse and 
    exploitation.
        (2) The harms caused by child pornography begin, but do not 
    end, with child sex assault because child pornography is a 
    permanent record of that abuse and trafficking in those images 
    compounds the harm to the child.
        (3) In Paroline v. United States (2014), the Supreme Court 
    recognized that ``every viewing of child pornography is a 
    repetition of the victim's abuse''.
        (4) The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children 
    has stated that for victims of child pornography, ``the sexual 
    abuse of the child, the memorialization of that abuse which becomes 
    child pornography, and its subsequent distribution and viewing 
    become psychologically intertwined and each compound the harm 
    suffered by the child-victim''.
        (5) Victims suffer continuing and grievous harm as a result of 
    knowing that a large, indeterminate number of individuals have 
    viewed and will in the future view images of their childhood sexual 
    abuse. Harms of this sort are a major reason that child pornography 
    is outlawed.
        (6) The unlawful collective conduct of every individual who 
    reproduces, distributes, or possesses the images of a victim's 
    childhood sexual abuse plays a part in sustaining and aggravating 
    the harms to that individual victim.
        (7) It is the intent of Congress that victims of child 
    pornography be compensated for the harms resulting from every 
    perpetrator who contributes to their anguish. Such an aggregate 
    causation standard reflects the nature of child pornography and the 
    unique ways that it actually harms victims.
SEC. 3. DETERMINING RESTITUTION.
    (a) Determining Restitution.--Section 2259(b) of title 18, United 
States Code, is amended--
        (1) in paragraph (1)--
            (A) by striking ``The order'' and inserting ``Except as 
        provided in paragraph (2), the order''; and
            (B) by striking ``as determined by the court pursuant to 
        paragraph (2)'' after ``of the victim's losses'';
        (2) by striking paragraph (3);
        (3) by redesignating paragraph (2) as paragraph (3); and
        (4) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:
        ``(2) Restitution for trafficking in child pornography.--If the 
    defendant was convicted of trafficking in child pornography, the 
    court shall order restitution under this section in an amount to be 
    determined by the court as follows:
            ``(A) Determining the full amount of a victim's losses.--
        The court shall determine the full amount of the victim's 
        losses that were incurred or are reasonably projected to be 
        incurred by the victim as a result of the trafficking in child 
        pornography depicting the victim.
            ``(B) Determining a restitution amount.--After completing 
        the determination required under subparagraph (A), the court 
        shall order restitution in an amount that reflects the 
        defendant's relative role in the causal process that underlies 
        the victim's losses, but which is no less than $3,000.
            ``(C) Termination of payment.--A victim's total aggregate 
        recovery pursuant to this section shall not exceed the full 
        amount of the victim's demonstrated losses. After the victim 
        has received restitution in the full amount of the victim's 
        losses as measured by the greatest amount of such losses found 
        in any case involving that victim that has resulted in a final 
        restitution order under this section, the liability of each 
        defendant who is or has been ordered to pay restitution for 
        such losses to that victim shall be terminated. The court may 
        require the victim to provide information concerning the amount 
        of restitution the victim has been paid in other cases for the 
        same losses.''.
    (b) Additional Definitions.--Section 2259(c) of title 18, United 
States Code, is amended--

        ``(4) Victim.--For purposes'';
        (3) by striking ``under this chapter, including, in the case'' 
    and inserting ``under this chapter. In the case'';
        (4) by inserting after ``or any other person appointed as 
    suitable by the court,'' the following: ``may assume the crime 
    victim's rights under this section,''; and
        (5) by inserting before paragraph (4), as so designated, the

    subsection, the term `full amount of the victim's losses' includes

    in the future, by the victim, as a proximate result of the offenses 
    involving the victim, and in the case of trafficking in child 
    pornography offenses, as a proximate result of all trafficking in 
    child pornography offenses involving the same victim, including--

    pornography' means conduct proscribed by section 2251(d), 2252, 
    2252A(a)(1) through (5), 2252A(g)(in cases in which the series of 
    felony violations exclusively involves violations of section 
    2251(d), 2252, 2252A(a)(1) through (5), or 2260(b)), or 2260(b).''.

                                               President of the Senate.
Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2017 (Sec. 3) This bill amends the federal criminal code to modify procedures for determining the amount of mandatory restitution in child pornography cases. If a defendant is convicted of trafficking in child pornography, then the court must order mandatory restitution in an amount which is between $3,000 and 1% of the full amount of the victim's losses. The full amount of the victim's losses includes costs incurred as a proximate result of all trafficking in child pornography offenses involving the same victim. (Sec. 4) If a defendant is convicted of child pornography production, then a victim of the offense may elect to receive a one-time payment in the amount of $35,000 (adjusted for inflation) from a Child Pornography Victims Reserve, subject to limitations. (Sec. 5) The bill amends the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 to establish the Child Pornography Victims Reserve within the Crime Victims Fund. Courts must impose additional assessments on persons convicted of child pornography offenses, and the additional assessments must be deposited into the Child Pornography Victims Reserve. (Sec. 6) In a criminal proceeding, a victim of a child pornography offense must have access to the pornographic material depicting the victim for inspection, viewing, and examination by the victim, his or her attorney, and potential expert witnesses.
