This bill would make it illegal to bring child sex dolls into the United States or move them across state or foreign borders. It also creates a new crime for buying, selling, delivering, distributing, or possessing these dolls when they have been trafficked through interstate or foreign commerce. The bill says these items are closely tied to child sexual abuse and exploitation, and it treats them as harmful obscene materials. It defines a child sex doll as a doll, mannequin, or robot that looks like a minor and is meant to be used for sex. People who break the new trafficking law could face fines and prison time, with tougher penalties for repeat offenses.
- Bars the importation or transportation of any child sex doll under federal obscenity laws.
- Creates a new federal offense for trafficking in child sex dolls, including buying, selling, delivering, or distributing them across state or foreign lines.
- Also punishes possession of a child sex doll if it was moved through interstate or foreign commerce, or if a person has it with the intent to traffic it.
- Sets penalties of up to 5 years in prison for a first offense and up to 10 years for later offenses, along with possible fines.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 11, 2025
Mr. Buchanan (for himself and Mr. Moskowitz) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the importation or
transportation of child sex dolls, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Curbing Realistic Exploitative
Electronic Pedophilic Robots Act 2.0'' or as the ``CREEPER Act 2.0''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) There is a correlation between possession of the
obscene dolls, and robots, and possession of and participation
in child pornography.
(2) The physical features, and potentially the
``personalities'' of the robots are customizable or morphable
and can resemble actual children.
(3) Some owners and makers of the robots have made their
children interact with the robots as if the robots are members
of the family.
(4) The robots can have settings that simulate rape.
(5) The dolls and robots not only lead to rape, but they
make rape easier by teaching the rapist about how to overcome
resistance and subdue the victim.
(6) For users and children exposed to their use, the dolls
and robots normalize submissiveness and normalize sex between
adults and minors.
(7) As the Supreme Court has recognized, obscene material
is often used as part of a method of seducing child victims.
(8) The dolls and robots are intrinsically related to abuse
of minors, and they cause the exploitation, objectification,
abuse, and rape of minors.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF IMPORTATION OR TRANSPORTATION OF CHILD SEX
DOLLS.
Section 1462 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (a), by striking ``or'' at the end;
(2) in paragraph (b), by striking ``or'' at the end;
(3) by inserting after paragraph (c) the following:
``(d) any child sex doll; or''; and
(4) by adding at the end the following:
``In this section, the term `child sex doll' means an anatomically
correct doll, mannequin, or robot, with the features of, or with
features that resemble those of, a minor, intended for use in sexual
acts.''.
SEC. 4. TRAFFICKING IN CHILD SEX DOLLS.
(a) In General.--Chapter 71 of title 18, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``Sec. 1471. Trafficking in child sex dolls
``Whoever knowingly--
``(1) buys, sells, delivers, or distributes in interstate
or foreign commerce any child sex doll,
``(2) possesses a child sex doll that has been so bought,
sold, delivered, or distributed, or
``(3) possesses such a child sex doll with the intent to
engage in any conduct prohibited by paragraph (1),
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years,
or both, for the first such offense and shall be fined under this title
or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both, for each such offense
thereafter. For purposes of this section, the term `child sex doll' has
the meaning given such term in section 1462.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections for such chapter is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``1471. Trafficking in child sex dolls.''.
