TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 2260
pornography, ‘the sexual abuse of the child, the me-
morialization of that abuse which becomes child por-
nography, and its subsequent distribution and view-
ing 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 num-
ber 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 pornog-
raphy is outlawed.
‘‘(6) The unlawful collective conduct of every indi-
vidual 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 re-
sulting 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.’’
§ 2259A. Assessments in child pornography cases
(a) IN
GENERAL.—In addition to any other
criminal penalty, restitution, or special assess-
ment authorized by law, the court shall assess—

2252A(a)(5);
(2) not more than $35,000 on any person con-
victed of any other offense for trafficking in
child pornography; and
(3) not more than $50,000 on any person con-
victed of a child pornography production of-
fense.

in subsection (a) shall be adjusted annually in
