What strict-liability statute are you referring to?

This HN comment suggests that you are right that there is no strict-liability statute for CSAM: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28235669

IANAL so I am very likely wrong.

US Code 18 Sec 2252 seems to state that possessing or looking at CSAM material requires that the action is done “knowingly”.
