 Mr. Buchanan (for himself and Mr. Moskowitz) introduced the following 
 bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

_______________________________________________________________________

 A BILL

 To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the importation or 
 transportation of child sex dolls, and for other purposes.

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

 This Act may be cited as the ``Curbing Realistic Exploitative 
Electronic Pedophilic Robots Act 2.0'' or as the ``CREEPER Act 2.0''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

 The Congress finds as follows:

    (1) There is a correlation between possession of the 
 obscene dolls, and robots, and possession of and participation 
 in child pornography.

    (2) The physical features, and potentially the 
 ``personalities'' of the robots are customizable or morphable 
 and can resemble actual children.

    (3) Some owners and makers of the robots have made their 
 children interact with the robots as if the robots are members 
 of the family.

    (4) The robots can have settings that simulate rape.

    (5) The dolls and robots not only lead to rape, but they 
 make rape easier by teaching the rapist about how to overcome 
 resistance and subdue the victim.

    (6) For users and children exposed to their use, the dolls 
 and robots normalize submissiveness and normalize sex between 
 adults and minors.

    (7) As the Supreme Court has recognized, obscene material 
 is often used as part of a method of seducing child victims.

    (8) The dolls and robots are intrinsically related to abuse 
 of minors, and they cause the exploitation, objectification, 
 abuse, and rape of minors.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF IMPORTATION OR TRANSPORTATION OF CHILD SEX 
 DOLLS.

 

Section 1462 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--

    (1) in paragraph

    (a) , by striking ``or'' at the end;

    (2) in paragraph

    (b) , by striking ``or'' at the end;

    (3) by inserting after paragraph
            (c) the following:
 ``
            (d) any child sex doll; or''; and

    (4) by adding at the end the following:
``In this section, the term `child sex doll' means an anatomically 
correct doll, mannequin, or robot, with the features of, or with 
features that resemble those of, a minor, intended for use in sexual 
acts.''.

SEC. 4. TRAFFICKING IN CHILD SEX DOLLS.

    (a) In General.--Chapter 71 of title 18, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
``

Sec. 1471. Trafficking in child sex dolls
 ``Whoever knowingly--
 ``

    (1) buys, sells, delivers, or distributes in interstate 
 or foreign commerce any child sex doll,
