Tuesday, April 16, 2002
Washington - Sen. Orrin G. Hatch today issued the following statement
regarding the Supreme Court's decision in Ashcroft v. Free Speech
Coalition in response to numerous media inquiries: "I am obviously
disappointed, but respect the Court's pronouncement in the Ashcroft v.
Free Speech Coalition case," stated Hatch. "Child pornography and the
exploitation of children continue to be serious problems in our
country and abroad. I am committed to using every effort to curtail,
and hopefully stop, the sexual exploitation of children. I was proud
of drafting the legislation, seeing President Clinton sign it into
law, and will be studying the Court's opinion to see exactly how we
can craft new legislation to punish the sexual exploitation of
children consistent with the Court's decision."
Senator Hatch sponsored the Child Pornography Prevention Act that
amended federal child pornography statutes to establish a definition
of child pornography to include any visual depiction, such as a
photograph, film, videotape or computer image, that is produced by any
means, including electronically by computer, of sexually explicit
conduct to be classified as child pornography if: its production
involved the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or
it depicts, or appears to depict, a minor engaging in sexually
explicit conduct; or it is promoted or advertised as depicting a minor
engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
