5 | other similar visual reproduction or depiction by computer that | ||||||
6 | are identical to each other.
| ||||||
7 | (b)(1) It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of | ||||||
8 | child
pornography that the defendant reasonably believed, | ||||||
9 | under all of the
circumstances, that the child was 18 years of | ||||||
10 | age or older or that the
person was not a person with a severe | ||||||
11 | or profound intellectual disability but only where, prior to | ||||||
12 | the act or acts giving rise to a

| ||||||
14 | bonafide inquiry designed to ascertain whether the child was 18 | ||||||
15 | years of
age or older or that the person was not a person with a | ||||||

18 | reasonable.
| ||||||
19 | (1.5) Telecommunications carriers, commercial mobile | ||||||
20 | service providers, and providers of information services, | ||||||
21 | including, but not limited to, Internet service providers and | ||||||
22 | hosting service providers, are not liable under this Section by | ||||||
23 | virtue of the transmission, storage, or caching of electronic | ||||||
24 | communications or messages of others or by virtue of the | ||||||
25 | provision of other related telecommunications, commercial | ||||||
26 | mobile services, or information services used by others in |
| |||||||
| |||||||

11 | film,

13 | may infer
that the defendant possessed such
materials with the | ||||||
14 | intent to disseminate them.
| ||||||
15 | (5) The charge of child pornography does not apply to a | ||||||
16 | person who does
not voluntarily possess a film, videotape, or | ||||||
17 | visual reproduction or depiction
by computer in which child | ||||||
18 | pornography is depicted. Possession is voluntary if
the | ||||||
19 | defendant knowingly procures or receives a film, videotape, or | ||||||
20 | visual
reproduction or depiction for a sufficient time to be | ||||||
21 | able to terminate his
or her possession.
| ||||||
22 | (6) Any violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or | ||||||
23 | (7) of subsection (a) that includes a child engaged in, | ||||||
24 | solicited for, depicted in, or posed in any act of sexual | ||||||
25 | penetration or bound, fettered, or subject to sadistic, | ||||||
26 | masochistic, or sadomasochistic abuse in a sexual context shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be deemed a crime of violence. | ||||||

4 | or (7) of subsection (a) is a

26 | felony with a mandatory
minimum fine of $1000 and a maximum |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fine of $100,000. If the violation involves a film, videotape, | ||||||

22 | age of 18 years or an offense that is substantially equivalent | ||||||
23 | to those offenses, is guilty of a Class X felony for which the | ||||||
24 | person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less | ||||||
25 | than 9 years with a mandatory minimum fine of $2,000 and a | ||||||
26 | maximum fine of $100,000.

Moratorium Act. (I) | ||||||
15 | Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the
| ||||||
16 | Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile | ||||||
17 | Court Act of 1987, the
Criminal Code of 1961, the | ||||||
18 | Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of
| ||||||
19 | Corrections.
| ||||||
20 | (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District | ||||||
21 | Appellate Court in
People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118, | ||||||
22 | ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the
single | ||||||
23 | subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article | ||||||
24 | IV, Section 8 (d))
and was unconstitutional in its | ||||||
25 | entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act
of 1999 | ||||||
26 | was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | appeal.
| ||||||
2 | (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the | ||||||
3 | people of this State
and the validity of future | ||||||
4 | prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
| ||||||
5 | the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
| ||||||
6 | (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to | ||||||
7 | prevent or
minimize any problems relating to prosecutions | ||||||
8 | for child pornography that may
result from challenges to | ||||||
9 | the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
| ||||||
10 | re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that | ||||||
11 | was included in
Public Act 88-680.
| ||||||
12 | (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section | ||||||
13 | 11-20.1 of the
Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been | ||||||
14 | amended. This re-enactment is intended
to remove any | ||||||
15 | question as to the validity or content of that Section; it | ||||||
16 | is not
intended to supersede any other Public Act that | ||||||
17 | amends the text of the Section
as set forth in this | ||||||
18 | amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
| ||||||
19 | text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time | ||||||
20 | this amendatory Act
of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty | ||||||
21 | was subject to appeal to the Illinois
Supreme Court.
| ||||||
22 | (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of | ||||||
23 | Section 11-20.1 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to | ||||||
24 | child pornography that was amended by
Public Act 88-680 is | ||||||
25 | not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
| ||||||
26 | Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | legal argument
concerning whether those provisions were | ||||||
2 | substantially re-enacted by other
Public Acts.
