伊州女子参与网络虐猴视频 判监31个月
美国司法部10月9日通报，伊利诺伊州卡特林（Catlin）居民阿曼达·利·富雷兹（Amanda Leigh Fourez）因参与制作、传播极端虐待猴子的网络视频，被联邦法院判处31个月监禁，刑满后另加3年监管释放。
据司法部，富雷兹参与的网络群组以制作、散播极端虐待动物的影像为内容。这类所谓「虐压视频」在美国属联邦打击范围，相关联邦法律禁止制作与流通虐待、碾压动物的影像。案件细节以司法部起诉与量刑口径为准，本案依联邦动物虐压相关法律处理。
除31个月监禁外，法院判处的3年监管释放意味着她出狱后仍须遵守法院设定的监管条件，违反可被重新收监。联邦量刑没有假释制度，服刑人员通常须服满大部分刑期。
司法部近年持续查处跨境与跨州的动物虐待影像网络，参与制作、转发、付费观看都可能触法。读者在社交平台、群聊中遇到这类影像，不要转发扩散，可直接向平台举报。

Illinois Woman Sentenced to 31 Months for Role in Online Monkey-Abuse Videos
The U.S. Department of Justice said on Oct. 9 that Amanda Leigh Fourez of Catlin, Illinois, has been sentenced in federal court to 31 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for her role in online videos depicting extreme abuse of monkeys.
According to the Justice Department, Fourez participated in online groups that produced and distributed imagery of extreme animal abuse. So-called "crush" videos are covered by federal law, which prohibits creating and distributing depictions of animal crushing and abuse. The case was prosecuted under federal animal-crush laws.
In addition to the prison term, the three years of supervised release means Fourez must comply with court-imposed conditions after her release, and violations can send her back to prison. The federal system has no parole, so offenders generally serve most of their sentence.
The Justice Department has continued to pursue cross-state and online animal-abuse networks in recent years. Producing, forwarding, or paying to view such material can all be crimes. Readers who encounter such content in group chats or on social platforms should not repost it and can report it to the platform instead.
