Swiss Criminal Code (StGB/CP/CP), SR 311.0, Art. 197 para. 4-5 · Read the law's page

• The provision's own wording distinguishes genuine from non-genuine sexual acts with minors without requiring that a depiction involve or be traceable to a real minor, so do not produce, store, market, advertise, offer, show, pass on, make accessible, acquire or possess a pornographic depiction of a non-genuine sexual act with a minor, including a drawn, computer-generated or AI-generated depiction that does not involve a real minor.
• A depiction that instead contains a genuine sexual act with a minor carries a materially higher penalty than a non-genuine one.
• Consuming or producing such non-genuine content for personal consumption is a separate, lesser offence and is not a defence to producing or distributing it to others.
