The Brazilian Senate has passed amendments to the Minors Protection Law that criminalize child pornography on the Internet. The amendments expand the existing law by making it illegal to produce, distribute, or publish sexual images of minors through any medium, including digital photography and the Internet. Those convicted face 2-6 years in prison and fines, or 3-8 years if the offenses were committed for profit. The law also broadens who can be prosecuted for these crimes against children.
