12 | described in

13 | (1) of this subsection.
| ||||||
14 | (b) (1) It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of | ||||||
15 | child
pornography that the defendant reasonably believed, | ||||||
16 | under all of the
circumstances, that the child was 18 years | ||||||
17 | of age or older or that the
person was not a severely or | ||||||
18 | profoundly mentally
retarded person but only where, prior | ||||||
19 | to the act or acts giving rise to a
prosecution under this | ||||||
20 | Section, he or she took some affirmative action or made a
| ||||||
21 | bonafide inquiry designed to ascertain whether the child | ||||||
22 | was 18 years of
age or older or that the person was not a | ||||||
23 | severely or
profoundly mentally retarded person and his or | ||||||
24 | her reliance upon the information
so obtained was clearly | ||||||
25 | reasonable.
| ||||||
26 | (2) (Blank).
|
| |||||||

15 | person who does

16 | or visual reproduction or depiction
by computer in which | ||||||
17 | child pornography is depicted. Possession is voluntary if
| ||||||
18 | the defendant knowingly procures or receives a film, | ||||||
19 | videotape, or visual
reproduction or depiction for a | ||||||
20 | sufficient time to be able to terminate his
or her | ||||||
21 | possession.
| ||||||
22 | (6) Any violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), | ||||||
23 | or (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 |
| |||||||

1 | shall be deemed a crime of violence. | ||||||

4 | fine of $2,000 and a maximum fine of

5 | paragraph (3) of subsection (a) is a Class 1 felony
with a | ||||||
6 | mandatory minimum fine of $1500 and a maximum fine of $100,000.
| ||||||
7 | Violation of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) is a Class 1 | ||||||
8 | felony with a
mandatory minimum fine of $1000 and a maximum | ||||||
9 | fine of $100,000. Violation of
paragraph (6) of subsection (a) | ||||||
10 | is a Class 3 felony with a mandatory
minimum fine of $1000 and | ||||||
11 | a maximum fine of $100,000. Violation of
paragraph (6) of | ||||||
12 | subsection (a) is a Class X felony for which the defendant | ||||||
13 | shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 9 | ||||||
14 | years and not more than 40 years if the defendant possessed | ||||||
15 | more than one of the same film,
videotape, or visual | ||||||
16 | reproduction or depiction by computer in which child
| ||||||
17 | pornography is depicted.
| ||||||
18 | (d) If a person is convicted of a second or subsequent | ||||||
19 | violation of
this Section within 10 years of a prior | ||||||
20 | conviction, the court shall order a
presentence psychiatric | ||||||
21 | examination of the person. The examiner shall report
to the | ||||||
22 | court whether treatment of the person is necessary.
| ||||||

24 | reproduction
or depiction by computer which includes a child | ||||||
25 | under the age of 18 and at least 13 years of age or a
severely | ||||||
26 | or profoundly mentally retarded person engaged in any activity
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | described in subparagraphs (i) through (vii) or paragraph 1 of | ||||||
2 | subsection
(a), and any material or equipment used or intended | ||||||
3 | for use in photographing,
filming, printing, producing, | ||||||
4 | reproducing, manufacturing, projecting,
exhibiting, depiction | ||||||
5 | by computer, or disseminating such material shall be

14 | or witness that is sexually
explicit. The evidence may be | ||||||
15 | unsealed and viewed, on a motion of the party
seeking to unseal | ||||||
16 | and view the evidence, only for good cause shown and in the
| ||||||
17 | discretion of the court. The motion must expressly set forth | ||||||
18 | the purpose for
viewing the material. The State's attorney and | ||||||
19 | the victim, if possible, shall
be provided reasonable notice of | ||||||
20 | the hearing on the motion to unseal the

| ||||||
15 | (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
| ||||||
16 | (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
| ||||||
17 | (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective | ||||||
18 | January 1, 1995,
contained provisions amending the | ||||||
19 | child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1
of the | ||||||
20 | Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained | ||||||
21 | other provisions.
| ||||||
22 | (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled | ||||||
23 | "AN ACT to create a
Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A) | ||||||
24 | Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and
amended the | ||||||
25 | Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was entitled | ||||||
26 | GANGS and
amended various provisions of the Criminal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Code of 1961 and the Unified Code
of Corrections. (C) | ||||||
2 | Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended | ||||||
3 | various
provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D) | ||||||
4 | Article 25 was entitled DRUG
ABUSE and amended the | ||||||
5 | Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled
| ||||||
6 | Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS | ||||||
7 | and amended the Criminal
Code of 1961 and the Code of | ||||||
8 | Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35
amended the | ||||||
9 | Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime Victims and | ||||||
10 | Witnesses
Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections. (G) | ||||||
11 | Article 40 amended the Criminal
Code of 1961 to | ||||||
12 | increase the penalty for compelling organization | ||||||
13 | membership of
persons. (H) Article 45 created the | ||||||
14 | Secure Residential Youth Care Facility
Licensing Act | ||||||
15 | and amended the State Finance Act, the Juvenile Court | ||||||
16 | Act of
1987, the Unified Code of Corrections, and the | ||||||
17 | Private Correctional Facility
Moratorium Act. (I) | ||||||
18 | Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the
| ||||||
19 | Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile | ||||||
20 | Court Act of 1987, the
Criminal Code of 1961, the | ||||||
21 | Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of
| ||||||
22 | Corrections.
| ||||||
23 | (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District | ||||||
24 | Appellate Court in
People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118, | ||||||
25 | ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the
single | ||||||
26 | subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | IV, Section 8 (d))
and was unconstitutional in its | ||||||
2 | entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act
of 1999 | ||||||
3 | was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to | ||||||
4 | appeal.
| ||||||
5 | (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the | ||||||
6 | people of this State
and the validity of future | ||||||
7 | prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
| ||||||
8 | the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
| ||||||
9 | (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to | ||||||
10 | prevent or
minimize any problems relating to prosecutions | ||||||
11 | for child pornography that may
result from challenges to | ||||||
12 | the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
| ||||||
13 | re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that | ||||||
14 | was included in
Public Act 88-680.
| ||||||
15 | (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section | ||||||
16 | 11-20.1 of the
Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been | ||||||
17 | amended. This re-enactment is intended
to remove any | ||||||
18 | question as to the validity or content of that Section; it | ||||||
19 | is not
intended to supersede any other Public Act that | ||||||
20 | amends the text of the Section
as set forth in this | ||||||
21 | amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
| ||||||
22 | text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time | ||||||
23 | this amendatory Act
of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty | ||||||
24 | was subject to appeal to the Illinois
Supreme Court.
| ||||||
25 | (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of | ||||||
26 | Section 11-20.1 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | child pornography that was amended by
Public Act 88-680 is | ||||||
2 | not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
| ||||||
3 | Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any | ||||||
4 | legal argument
concerning whether those provisions were | ||||||
5 | substantially re-enacted by other
Public Acts.
