NLC Applauds U.S. Supreme Court Ruling

in Child Pornography Promotion Case

Court upholds criminal penalties for "pandering" illegal material

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - May 19, 2008 - The National Law Center for Children and Families (NLC), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to combating child sexual exploitation, applauds today's Supreme Court ruling as a victory in the fight to protect children.

The 7-2 ruling in United States v. Williams upheld provisions of the PROTECT Act of 2003 that had been struck down in 2006 by the 11^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case focused on the legality of promoting or "pandering" child pornography independent of possessing such materials.
