Coercion and Sexual Abuse Free Environment Act of 2025 or the CSAFE Act of 2025
This bill establishes a new federal criminal offense for compelling a minor to engage in certain acts: animal crushing, self-harm, obscene speech, sexually explicit conduct, or abusive or degrading nonsexual conduct.
An offense, or an attempt or conspiracy to commit an offense, is punishable by a fine, prison term, or both.
Additionally, in the case of an offense committed by a minor who is at least 13 years of age, the bill allows the minor to be prosecuted as an adult in federal court if certain criteria are met (e.g., possession of a firearm during the offense).
