New Jersey § 2a:30b-1

§ 2a:30b-1.

The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Child pornography is a lucrative business which sexually exploits children and

preys on their vulnerability. b. While criminal laws exist to penalize those who sexually exploit children, these

laws are sometimes insufficient to protect and indemnify the victim and prevent the

perpetrators from accumulating large profits from the making and distribution of “kiddie

porn.” c. This act is designed to give the victims of child pornography a civil action against

those persons who sexually exploit them for profit directly or indirectly which can

be brought through a parent or guardian or child advocacy organization or by the victim

upon reaching the age of majority. Any director, officer, servant, employee or other person authorized to act on behalf

of a corporation may be personally liable if found liable individually or jointly

with the corporation under the provisions of this act. d. The act will allow victims to recover three times the financial gains made by those

who exploit them and will authorize injunctive relief to halt the making and distribution

of films and other materials.
