United States v. Michael Williams

Subject:

18 U.S.C. section 2252A(a)(3)(B), Child Pornography, Vagueness, Broadness, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law & Procedure

Question:

Section 2252A(a)(3)(B) of Title 18 (Supp. IV 2004) prohibits "knowingly * * * advertis[ing], promot[ing], present[ing], distribut[ing], or solicit[ing] * * * any material or purported material in a manner that reflects the belief, or that is intended to cause another to believe, that the material or purported material" is illegal child pornography.
• The question presented is whether Section 2252A(a)(3)(B) is overly broad and impermissibly vague, and thus facially unconstitutional.
