What US 18 U.S.C. § 2248 - Mandatory Restitution for Chapter 109A Sexual Abuse Convictions requires
18 U.S.C. § 2248 makes restitution mandatory for federal convictions under chapter 109A (sexual abuse offences §§ 2241-2244A). The court must order the defendant to pay the victim the full amount of the victim's losses determined by the court, in addition to any other civil or criminal penalty. 'Full amount of the victim's losses' is defined broadly to include medical services, psychiatric or psychological care, physical and occupational therapy, transportation, temporary housing, child care expenses, lost income, attorneys' fees, and any other losses suffered as a proximate result of the offence. § 2248 parallels § 2259 (chapter 110/117 mandatory restitution) and pre-empts § 3663A general mandatory restitution for chapter 109A predicate offences. The 'victim' definition extends to legal guardians for minors or incompetent victims.
