To require covered platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

On sentencing a person convicted under paragraph (2) or (3), the court must order forfeiture to the United States, on top of any other sentence and irrespective of State law. Three things are forfeited: the material distributed, the person's interest in property constituting or derived from gross proceeds of the violation or traceable to it, and any personal property used or intended to be used to commit or facilitate the violation.

What the document actually says

“The court, in imposing a sentence on any person convicted of a violation of paragraph (2) or (3), shall order, in addition to any other sentence imposed and irrespective of any provision of State law, that the person forfeit to the United States-- ``(i) any material distributed in violation of that paragraph;”

That sentence, in plain words

A judge must take the images away. That comes on top of any other penalty.

What this is about

The judge also takes money made from the crime. Things used to do it are taken as well.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
