Commercial sexual exploitation: child sexual abuse material: civil actions.

Existing law, in a civil action brought by, on behalf of, or for the benefit of a minor, or nonminor dependent, against a person who engaged in an act of commercial sexual exploitation, as defined, of a minor or nonminor dependent, authorizes the trier of fact to either impose a fine, civil penalty, or other penalty, or other remedy in an amount up to 3 times greater than authorized by the statute or to award a civil penalty not exceeding $50,000 and not less than $10,000 for each act of commercial sexual exploitation committed by the defendant if the tier of fact makes an affirmative finding regarding certain factors, including whether the defendant's conduct was directed to more than one minor or nonminor dependent, as prescribed.
