Adam Liptak on Paroline v. United States (restitution for victims of child pornography)

Here’s a link to Liptak’s preview of Paroline v. United States, a case affecting restitution to victims of child pornography.  The Fifth Circuit awarded the victim in this case the full amount of her claimed damages, applying “joint and several” liability and telling the defendant to pay what he could while seeking contributions from the other people who viewed the victim’s images.  The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether that was the correct approach next month.
