Abstract
As demonstrated by the success of the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) in response to organized
crime, a more appropriate method of prosecution when handling
child exploitation enterprises is one that is enterprise-focused. This
method allows prosecutors to handle the increasing sophistication
of technology available to these enterprises and would result in
better sentencing of both the individual members and the enterprise
leaders. Prosecutors have already begun to make this shift in
practice but are not fully taking advantage of the tools currently
available to make this change.
