The House unanimously passed a bill Wednesday that would prohibit the sale or transportation of child sex dolls in a push to curb pedophilia.

The CREEPER Act, sponsored by Rep. Dan Donovan, R-N.Y., was passed by a voice vote Thursday. The bill earned bipartisan support and had 33 co-sponsors, including Donovan.

“Right now, a few clicks on a computer can allow a predator to order a vile child sex doll, Donovan said in a statement. “This is not only disturbing – but also endangers the most innocent among us. Once an abuser tires of practicing on a doll, it’s a small step to move on to a child.”

“My bill takes necessary steps to stop these sickening dolls from reaching our communities,” Donovan continued. “We must protect children from those who wish them harm. I thank House leadership for bringing this important legislation to the floor, and I implore the Senate to swiftly move it forward.”

Donovan's bill notes that child-like sex dolls are "customizable or morphable" and can resemble actual children. Most dolls are made in China, Japan, or Hong Kong and are shipped to the U.S. as mannequins to avoid detection in mail.

The legislation states that there is a correlation between owning obscene dolls and robots and participation in child pornography.

If the CREEPER Act passes the Senate and is signed into law, the U.S. would follow the likes of Australia and the United Kingdom in taking actions to ban sex robots.

The New York Republican was a federal prosecutor for 20 years before his election to Congress in 2015. He is facing a high-profile primary challenge from former Rep. Michael Grimm, who served seven months in prison after a conviction on a felony count of tax evasion.
