The SAFE Act amends federal sentencing guidelines to better account for the harm caused by child sexual abuse material.

The SAFE Act, or Sentencing Accountability For Exploitation Act, directs the United States Sentencing Commission to revise federal sentencing guidelines for offenses involving child sexual abuse material. The revisions aim to appropriately account for the harm to victims and the public, changes in typical offense behavior, and the use of modern technologies. The guidelines must reflect the seriousness of the offenses, the need for deterrence, just punishment, and public protection.
