“Yes, Lolicon—animated renderings of kids engaged in sex—is illegal in the United States, just like all other forms of child porn.
Making, possessing, and/or distributing child pornography is against state and federal laws. All photographs and videos of children engaged in sexual activity, even simulated activity, are classified as child porn. Because of this, “lolicon,” which is animated child pornography, is also illegal. If you have been charged with creating, possessing, or distributing animated child porn, you need to seek legal assistance immediately to negate the outcome of the charges against you.”
“Lolicon is classified as illegal child pornography under federal law in the United States. This means that these cases are typically investigated by federal agents, such as the FBI, and they are prosecuted in federal courts.
A first-time federal conviction for possession of child pornography typically carries a prison sentence of between 5 and 20 years. However, sentences can range as high as life imprisonment for aggravating factors like:
The images are violent, sadistic or masochistic or
The defendant has prior convictions for child sexual exploitation.“
“ Possession of loli is illegal under federal law if two conditions are met:
First, the anime depiction of an underage person is obscene or lacking serious value.
Second, the anime was either transmitted through the mail, internet or common carrier; was transported across state lines; or there are indications that the possessor intends to distribute or sell it.
Otherwise, simple possession of loli is not illegal under federal law. But if a person possesses a large amount of loli, prosecutors will likely infer that he/she intends to sell or distribute it. And unless the defendant created the loli images him/herself, prosecutors may have an easy time proving that the defendant received the loli over the internet or through the mail.”
“ Cartoon pornography depicting minors is Child Pornography. If you make it, it is a federal felony. If you possess it, it is another federal felony. If you send it to someone else, it is yet another federal felony.
Section 1466A of Title 18, United State Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.”
