to multiple copies of the same film, videotape, photograph, or
other similar visual reproduction or depiction by computer
that are identical to each other.
(b)(1) It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of
child pornography that the defendant reasonably believed,
under all of the circumstances, that the child was 18 years of
age or older or that the person was not a person with a severe
or profound intellectual disability but only where, prior to
the act or acts giving rise to a prosecution under this

Section, he or she took some affirmative action or made a
bonafide inquiry designed to ascertain whether the child was
18 years of age or older or that the person was not a person
with a severe or profound intellectual disability and his or
her reliance upon the information so obtained was clearly
reasonable.

to view the evidence shall comply with subsection (e-5) of

this Section.
(4) If the defendant possessed more than one of the same

materials with the intent to disseminate them.
(5) The charge of child pornography does not apply to a
person who does not voluntarily possess a film, videotape, or
visual reproduction or depiction by computer in which child
pornography is depicted. Possession is voluntary if the
defendant knowingly procures or receives a film, videotape, or
visual reproduction or depiction for a sufficient time to be
able to terminate his or her possession.
(6) Any violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or
(7) of subsection (a) that includes a child engaged in,
solicited for, depicted in, or posed in any act of sexual
penetration or bound, fettered, or subject to sadistic,
masochistic, or sadomasochistic abuse in a sexual context
shall be deemed a crime of violence.
(c) If the violation does not involve a film, videotape,
or other moving depiction, a violation of paragraph (1), (4),
(5), or (7) of subsection (a) is a Class 1 felony with a
mandatory minimum fine of $2,000 and a maximum fine of

other moving depiction, a violation of paragraph (1), (4),
(5), or (7) of subsection (a) is a Class X felony with a

fine of $1500 and a maximum fine of $100,000. If the violation
involves a film, videotape, or other moving depiction, a
violation of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) is a Class X
felony with a mandatory minimum fine of $1500 and a maximum
fine of $100,000. If the violation does not involve a film,
videotape, or other moving depiction, a violation of paragraph
(2) of subsection (a) is a Class 1 felony with a mandatory
minimum fine of $1000 and a maximum fine of $100,000. If the
violation involves a film, videotape, or other moving
depiction, a violation of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) is a
Class X felony with a mandatory minimum fine of $1000 and a
maximum fine of $100,000. If the violation does not involve a
film, videotape, or other moving depiction, a violation of
paragraph (6) of subsection (a) is a Class 3 felony with a

(c-5) Where the child depicted is under the age of 13, a
violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or (7) of
subsection (a) is a Class X felony with a mandatory minimum

fine of $2,000 and a maximum fine of $100,000. Where the child
depicted is under the age of 13, a violation of paragraph (6)
of subsection (a) is a Class 2 felony with a mandatory minimum

depicted is under the age of 13, a person who commits a
violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or (7) of
subsection (a) where the defendant has previously been
convicted under the laws of this State or any other state of
the offense of child pornography, aggravated child
pornography, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, aggravated
criminal sexual assault, predatory criminal sexual assault of
a child, or any of the offenses formerly known as rape, deviate

age of 18 years or an offense that is substantially equivalent
to those offenses, is guilty of a Class X felony for which the
person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less
than 9 years with a mandatory minimum fine of $2,000 and a
maximum fine of $100,000. Where the child depicted is under

mandatory minimum fine of $1,000 and a maximum fine of
$100,000. The issue of whether the child depicted is under the
age of 13 is an element of the offense to be resolved by the
trier of fact.
(d) If a person is convicted of a second or subsequent

conviction, the court shall order a presentence psychiatric

(g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
(1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
(i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective
January 1, 1995, contained provisions amending the
child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1 of the
Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained
other provisions.
(ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled
"AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A)
Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and amended
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was
entitled GANGS and amended various provisions of the
Criminal Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of
Corrections. (C) Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE
and amended various provisions of the Illinois Vehicle

Code. (D) Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and
amended the Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled
FIREARMS and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the
Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35
amended the Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime
Victims and Witnesses Act, and the Unified Code of
Corrections. (G) Article 40 amended the Criminal Code
of 1961 to increase the penalty for compelling
organization membership of persons. (H) Article 45
created the Secure Residential Youth Care Facility
Licensing Act and amended the State Finance Act, the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Unified Code of
Corrections, and the Private Correctional Facility
Moratorium Act. (I) Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor
Management Act, the Firearm Owners Identification Card
Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Criminal Code
of 1961, the Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified
Code of Corrections.
(iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118,
ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the single
subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article
IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its
entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999
was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to

appeal.
(iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the
people of this State and the validity of future
prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
(2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to
prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions
for child pornography that may result from challenges to
the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that
was included in Public Act 88-680.
(3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
question as to the validity or content of that Section; it
is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time
this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty
was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
(4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of
Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to
child pornography that was amended by Public Act 88-680 is
not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any

legal argument concerning whether those provisions were
substantially re-enacted by other Public Acts.

Sec. 5-8-4. Concurrent and consecutive terms of
imprisonment.
(a) Concurrent terms; multiple or additional sentences.
When an Illinois court (i) imposes multiple sentences of
imprisonment on a defendant at the same time or (ii) imposes a

to a sentence of imprisonment imposed by an Illinois court, a
court of another state, or a federal court, then the sentences
shall run concurrently unless otherwise determined by the

(b) Concurrent terms; misdemeanor and felony. A defendant
serving a sentence for a misdemeanor who is convicted of a
felony and sentenced to imprisonment shall be transferred to
the Department of Corrections, and the misdemeanor sentence
shall be merged in and run concurrently with the felony
sentence.
(c) Consecutive terms; permissive. The court may impose
consecutive sentences in any of the following circumstances:
(1) If, having regard to the nature and circumstances
of the offense and the history and character of the
defendant, it is the opinion of the court that consecutive
sentences are required to protect the public from further
criminal conduct by the defendant, the basis for which the
court shall set forth in the record.
(2) If one of the offenses for which a defendant was
convicted was a violation of Section 32-5.2 (aggravated

1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 (720 ILCS 5/17-2) and the
offense was committed in attempting or committing a
forcible felony.
(3) If a person charged with a felony commits a
separate felony while on pretrial release or in pretrial
detention in a county jail facility or county detention
facility, then the sentences imposed upon conviction of

these felonies may be served consecutively regardless of
the order in which the judgments of conviction are
entered.
(4) If a person commits a battery against a county
correctional officer or sheriff's employee while serving a
sentence or in pretrial detention in a county jail
facility, then the sentence imposed upon conviction of the
battery may be served consecutively with the sentence
imposed upon conviction of the earlier misdemeanor or
felony, regardless of the order in which the judgments of
conviction are entered.
(5) If a person admitted to pretrial release following
conviction of a felony commits a separate felony while
released pretrial or if a person detained in a county jail
facility or county detention facility following conviction
of a felony commits a separate felony while in detention,
then any sentence following conviction of the separate
felony may be consecutive to that of the original sentence
for which the defendant was released pretrial or detained.
(6) If a person is found to be in possession of an item
of contraband, as defined in Section 31A-0.1 of the
Criminal Code of 2012, while serving a sentence in a
county jail or while in pretrial detention in a county
jail, the sentence imposed upon conviction for the offense
of possessing contraband in a penal institution may be
served consecutively to the sentence imposed for the

offense for which the person is serving a sentence in the
county jail or while in pretrial detention, regardless of
the order in which the judgments of conviction are
entered.
(7) If a person is sentenced for a violation of a
condition of pretrial release under Section 32-10 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, any
sentence imposed for that violation may be served
consecutive to the sentence imposed for the charge for
which pretrial release had been granted and with respect
to which the defendant has been convicted.

single course of conduct during which there was no
substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective
shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized
under Article 4.5 of Chapter V for the 2 most serious
felonies involved, but no such limitation shall apply for

(g) Consecutive terms; manner served. In determining the
manner in which consecutive sentences of imprisonment, one or
more of which is for a felony, will be served, the Department
