McConnell Lauds Passage of the Amy and Vicky Child Pornography Victim Restitution Improvement Act

‘That’s why the Senate passed this important bill today; to help victims regain hope and dignity by helping them reclaim justice from those who profited off their pain.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement regarding the passage of the Amy and Vicky Child Pornography Victim Restitution Improvement Act:

“Today’s overwhelming bipartisan vote is just the latest example of a new Congress that’s back to work for the American people.

“For many victims of child-pornography, the pain doesn’t end when the images are produced. Years-long cycles of replication and distribution make it difficult for victims to move on, and many find it almost impossible to obtain restitution under current law. That’s why the Senate passed this important bill today; to help victims regain hope and dignity by helping them reclaim justice from those who profited off their pain.”
