This means that offenders can be charged at any time after their offense, right up until the day that they die. There is no current statute of limitations for child pornography at the federal level. A first-time offender convicted under this statute faces fines and at least 5 years to a maximum of 20 years in prison.
The matter involving minors can be deemed obscene if it (i) depicts an image that is, or appears to be a minor engaged in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or sexual intercourse and (ii) if the image lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. This statute offers an alternative 2-pronged test for obscenity with a lower threshold than the Miller test. Section 1466A of Title 18, United State Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene. If you send it to someone else, it is yet another federal felony. If you possess it, it is another federal felony.
Cartoon pornography depicting minors is Child Pornography.
