Congressman Biggs Applauds House Passage of His Legislation Combatting Exploitation of Children

Congressman Biggs’s Coercion and Sexual Abuse Free Environment (CSAFE) Act was adopted unanimously by the House of Representatives. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:

“The passage of my CSAFE Act delivers long-overdue legal clarity and serious consequences for criminals who coerce and exploit children,” said Congressman Biggs.

“The internet has become a hunting ground for predators who use manipulation, coercion, and psychological warfare to target children in the darkest ways imaginable. For too long, gaps in federal law have allowed these offenders to hide behind screens, anonymity, and outdated statutes while young lives are shattered. The CSAFE Act closes those gaps and gives law enforcement the clear authority necessary to hunt down and prosecute those who exploit children.

“I am grateful for the bipartisan support behind this effort and the critical input from the White House in crafting this legislation. I urge my Senate colleagues to quickly pass the CSAFE Act so President Trump can sign it into law.”
