WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, met with representatives of Raven, a 501(c)(4) organization representing the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces, including its CEO John Pizzuro. The group discussed the ICAC Task Force Program, representing over 5,400 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies dedicated to investigating, prosecuting, and developing effective responses to internet crimes against children.
“I’m grateful for Mr. Pizzuro and Raven’s critical work to respond to internet crimes against kids, and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will advocate for increased funding to support such efforts. Law enforcement should not be alone in the fight against online child sexual exploitation. Big Tech must do its part, or be held accountable for its failure to do so. Congress must continue to engage law enforcement and partner organizations as we advance legislation to protect kids online. I thank Raven for their support for my STOP CSAM Act as we push to bring our bipartisan kids online safety legislation to a vote on the Senate floor,” said Durbin.
