ator living across the street from her home. Unbe-

(3) In 2006, Congress passed the Adam Walsh 
Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public 
Law 109–248) to protect children and the public at 
large by establishing a comprehensive national sys-
tem for the registration and notification to the pub-
lic and law enforcement officers of convicted sex of-
fenders. 
(4)
Law
enforcement
reports
indicate
that 
known child-sex offenders are traveling internation-
ally, and that the criminal background of such indi-
viduals may not be known to local law enforcement 
prior to their arrival. 
(5) The commercial sexual exploitation of mi-
nors in child sex trafficking and pornography is a 
global phenomenon. The International Labour Orga-
nization has estimated that 1.8 million children 
worldwide are victims of child sex trafficking and 
pornography each year. 
(6) Child sex tourism, where an individual trav-
els to a foreign country and engages in sexual activ-
ity with a child in that country, is a form of child 
exploitation and, where commercial, child sex traf-
ficking. 
(7) According to research conducted by The 
Protection Project of The Johns Hopkins University

Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International 
Studies, sex tourists from the United States who 
target children form a significant percentage of child 
sex tourists in some of the most significant destina-
tion countries for child sex tourism. 
(8) In order to protect children, it is essential 
that United States law enforcement be able to iden-
tify child-sex offenders in the United States who are 
traveling abroad and child-sex offenders from other 
countries entering the United States. Such identi-
fication requires cooperative efforts between the 
United States and foreign governments. In exchange 
for providing notice of child-sex offenders traveling 
to the United States, foreign authorities will expect 
United States authorities to provide reciprocal notice 
of child-sex offenders traveling to their countries.
