What is 18 U.S.C. § 2257? 18 U.S.C. § 2257 is a federal law in the United States that requires producers of sexually explicit content to maintain records verifying the age of performers depicted in that content.

• The records must be kept by the producer or a designated custodian of records and made available for inspection by authorized government agents upon request.
• The law applies to a wide range of sexually explicit content, including but not limited to pornography, adult websites, and other forms of adult entertainment.

Consequences of Non-Compliance: Failure to comply with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 can result in severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Rights of Models: Models appearing in sexually explicit content have the right to ensure that producers are complying with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and maintaining accurate records of their age and identity.

Resources: Models who have questions or concerns about 18 U.S.C. § 2257 should consult with a legal professional for guidance on their rights and options.

Overall, 18 U.S.C. § 2257 serves to protect both performers and consumers by ensuring that sexually explicit content is produced and distributed responsibly and legally.
