SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Curbing Realistic Ex-
ploitative Electronic Pedophilic Robots Act of 2017’’ or 
as the ‘‘CREEPER Act of 2017’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) There is a correlation between possession of 
the obscene dolls, and robots, and possession of and 
participation in child pornography. 
(2) The physical features, and potentially the 
‘‘personalities’’ of the robots are customizable or 
morphable and can resemble actual children. 
(3) Some owners and makers of the robots have 
made their children interact with the robots as if the 
robots are members of the family. 
(4) The robots can have settings that simulate 
rape. 
(5) The dolls and robots not only lead to rape, 
but they make rape easier by teaching the rapist 
about how to overcome resistance and subdue the 
victim. 
(6) For users and children exposed to their use, 
the dolls and robots normalize submissiveness and 
normalize sex between adults and minors.
(7) As the Supreme Court has recognized, ob-
scene material is often used as part of a method of 
seducing child victims. 
(8) The dolls and robots are intrinsically related 
to abuse of minors, and they cause the exploitation, 
objectification, abuse, and rape of minors. 
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF IMPORTATION OR TRANSPOR-
TATION OF CHILD SEX DOLLS. 
Section 1462 of title 18, United States Code, is 
amended— 
(1) in paragraph (a), by striking ‘‘or’’ at the 
end; 
(2) in paragraph (b), by striking ‘‘or’’ at the 
end; 
(3) by inserting after paragraph (c) the fol-
lowing: 
‘‘(d) any child sex doll; or’’; and 
(4) by adding at the end the following: 
‘‘In this section, the term ‘child sex doll’ means an ana-
tomically-correct doll, mannequin, or robot, with the fea-
tures of, or with features that resemble those of, a minor, 
intended for use in sexual acts.’’.
