A recent federal conviction under the Take It Down Act exposed the scale and severity of AI-generated sexual abuse content — including cases involving minors and hundreds of manipulated images.

While current law criminalizes the sharing of these materials, a gap remains: creators and distributors of AI-generated child sexual abuse material are not always prosecuted to the same extent as those producing real images.

Lawmakers have already proposed a solution. The ENFORCE Act would ensure that AI-generated child sexual abuse material is treated with the same seriousness under federal law.

As technology evolves, the law must keep up to protect victims and prevent further harm.

We are calling on the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the ENFORCE Act and strengthen protections against AI-generated child exploitation.
