What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Whoever possesses a photographic, film, computer, electronic or other pornographic work depicting or otherwise using a child or a person who appears to be a child faces up to two years' imprisonment, and the same penalty applies to gaining access to child pornography through information or communication technology; the offence's own text extends to a person who merely appears to be a child, so an entirely AI-generated or synthetic depiction with no real child victim is reached the same way as an authentic image.
Producing, importing, exporting, transporting, offering, making publicly accessible, mediating, putting into circulation, selling, or otherwise supplying such a work, or profiting from it, carries six months to three years. That rises to two to six years or forfeiture of property where committed by an organized group, through the press, film, radio, television, a publicly accessible computer network or a similarly effective means, or to obtain a significant benefit.
It rises further to three to eight years where committed by a group operating across multiple states or to obtain a large-scale benefit.
