Summary

This document is a legal argument from a court filing, dated October 12, 2021. The author contends that certain federal statutes, like 18 USC § 3299 and § 3509, intentionally exclude child pornography and exploitation from the definition of sexual abuse, a fact the Justice Department has allegedly always known. The argument is supported by citing 1990 legislative history (VCAA) to claim that Congress intended these laws to apply specifically to federal enclaves.

When 18 USC § 3299 was passed in 2006 it was not made retroactive, presumably because it included the new offenses. It also has no physical abuse because as explained physical abuse is a part of 109A. This solution leaves all §3283 terms accounted for. Lockhart supra.
Summary
Whether or not the §3509(a)(8) definition of sexual abuse is used, child pornography / exploitation offenses are not included, and the repercussion of this should not be understated. There is compelling evidence showing the Justice Department has always been aware of it. As demonstrated, sexual exploitation is not included in "sexual or physical abuse" and sexual exploitation was removed from the proposals! Adding child pornography offense via §3509(a)(8) causes superfluity. Repose is mandated by Supreme Court precedent, if precedent means anything at all.
Finally, in both the House and Senate congress said the VCAA was for enclaves. see Cong. Rec. Senate June 28, 1990 P. 16238 "... Protect children in Federal Courts, in Federal Facilities, and on Federal lands, and House Report No 101-681 (I), Sept 5, 1990 P 6572.
