A bill introduced in the House of Commons will bring more severe penalties to people who distribute pornographic material of minors or without the consent of adults in the material.
MP Arnold Viersen (Peace River Westlock) introduced Bill C-302, the
Stopping Internet Sexual Exploitation (SISE) Act in the House of Commons on Thursday. The SISE Act would require those making or distributing pornographic material for a commercial purpose to verify the age and consent of each person depicted. It also would prevent the distribution of pornographic material when consent has been withdrawn. Those who fail to verify age and consent face escalating penalties or jail time mirroring those in the mandatory child pornography reporting laws.
