Congressman Mark Harris, a Republican from North Carolina, has introduced legislation aimed at closing what he and his supporters describe as a loophole in federal law that lets some producers of sexually explicit videos featuring children in the background evade punishment. The bill targets cases where minors are intentionally depicted in a sexually exploitative context but are not directly engaged in sexual acts, and Harris argues the change is necessary to better protect children from exploitation.
