Lists additional factors to be considered by the finder of fact, including: (1) possession by the offender of material produced, distributed, exhibited, or sold by the defendant; (2) whether such material depicts violent behavior or children participating in sexual activity; and (3) whether anything contained in such material would tend to promote violent sexual acts or the sexual abuse of children.

Authorizes the award of damages for economic loss, compensation for pain and suffering, reasonable attorney's fees, and costs to prevailing plaintiffs.

Authorizes injunctive relief to enjoin the production, distribution, exhibition, or sale of any such material found to have influenced or incited the sexual offender to commit the offense. Sets forth additional requirements for the granting of injunctive relief.
