Unsurprisingly, heated controversy surrounds the subject, with some advocates suggesting child sex dolls could be used to deter the real-life fulfillment of pedophilic urges. Dan Donovan (R-NY) just introduced legislation to ban the dolls, in a bill named Curbing Realistic Exploitative Electronic Pedophilic Robots, otherwise known as the CREEPER Act. Meanwhile, a case in Canada that began in 2013 with the intercepted “controlled delivery” of one such doll is still being prosecuted five years later. Most recently: A 33-year-old Essex man was found not guilty of importing a 3-foot-tall child sex doll in the United Kingdom. The Stop Abuse Campaign has launched a new campaign designed to grab your attention. Three words (“child” + “sex” + “ doll”) that should never appear together are suddenly-and disturbingly-making headlines around the world every week, as is the debate surrounding their implementation or banishment to either curb or reinforce pedophilia.
