certain sections of law provided by this legislation.

 JUSTIFICATION :
This bill responds to the increasing misuse of the internet as a
medium for the sexual exploitation and abuse of children.  A recent
study by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
reports that 1 in 4 children were subjected to unwanted exposure to
pictures of nude individuals or people engaged in sexual activity on
the internet last year. Child pornography is a particular threat, as
it not only victimizes the children used in the production or
pictures, but creates a ripple effect in the victimization of further
children. Child abuse experts have documented the common tendency of
pedophiles to lower the inhibitions of potential victims by exposing
them to images of other children engaging in sexual activity.

No level of child pornography is harmless and the current statutory
scheme reflects that insight. However, the unintended consequence of a
"one size fits all" statutory scheme lends itself to unwarranted
leniency for child pornographers overall. The high-volume dealer may
escape criminal liability proportionate to the crime, both through a
low top felony count and through the frequent conflation of multiple
counts at sentencing.

A statutory amendment to provide for graded child pornography offenses
is urgently required to assist law enforcement in the face of evolving
technology. Over the past decade, explosive growth in disk storage
capacity has facilitated the development of massive collections of
child pornography, while evolving internet communication technology
has enabled collection owners to organize sophisticated
trade-or-profit based mechanisms for its distribution.

A graduated scheme of child pornography offenses is consistent with
other New York statutes governing distribution and possession of
contraband. For example, in the area of narcotics and possession of
stolen property, the state statutes are graded to reflect the insight
that kingpins and mid-level operatives generally pose a greater threat
to society than street-level criminals.

A graduated scheme of state statutes governing child pornography would
also be in harmony with the effect of federal procedures in this area.
Federal sentencing procedure in the field of child pornography
approximates the effect of a graded statutory scheme via sentencing
enhancements applied, for example, to the possession of greater than
ten images of child pornography.

JUSTIFICATION:
This bill responds to the increasing misuse of the internet as a medium
for the sexual exploitation and abuse of children. A recent study by the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reports that 1 in 4
children were subjected to unwanted exposure to pictures of nude indi-
viduals or people engaged in sexual activity on the internet last year.
Child pornography is a particular threat, as it not only victimizes the
children used in the production or pictures, but creates a ripple effect
in the victimization of further children. Child abuse experts have docu-
mented the common tendency of pedophiles to lower the inhibitions of
potential victims by exposing them to images of other children engaging
in sexual activity.

No level of child pornography is harmless and the current statutory
scheme reflects that insight. However, the unintended consequence of a
"one size fits all" statutory scheme lends itself to unwarranted lenien-

cy for child pornographers overall. The high-volume dealer may escape
criminal liability proportionate to the crime, both through a low top
felony count and through the frequent conflation of multiple counts at
sentencing.

A statutory amendment to provide for graded child pornography offenses
is urgently required to assist law enforcement in the face of evolving
technology. Over the past decade, explosive growth in disk storage
capacity has facilitated the development of massive collections of child
pornography, while evolving internet communication technology has
enabled collection owners to organize sophisticated trade-or-profit
based mechanisms for its distribution.  A graduated scheme of child
pornography offenses is consistent with other New York statutes govern-
ing distribution and possession of contraband. For example, in the area
of narcotics and possession of stolen property, the state statutes are
graded to reflect the insight that kingpins and mid-level operatives
generally pose a greater threat to society than street-level criminals.

A graduated scheme of state statutes governing child pornography would
also be in harmony with the effect of federal procedures in this area.
Federal sentencing procedure in the field of child pornography approxi-
mates the effect of a graded statutory scheme via sentencing enhance-
ments applied, for example, to the possession of greater than ten images
of child pornography.
