General

What it requires

  • Do not create, alter, adapt, or modify, by electronic, mechanical, or other means, any image to portray an identifiable minor engaged in sexual conduct; this reaches an AI-generated or AI-altered image the same as an unaltered photograph.
  • Using or inducing a child in a sexual performance is a first-degree felony with a mandatory minimum of 15 years, or 25 years where aggravating circumstances apply.
  • Promoting such a performance is a second-degree felony with a 5-year mandatory minimum, and possessing with intent to promote, or knowingly soliciting, possessing, controlling, or intentionally viewing such material, is a second-degree felony.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Florida's child sexual abuse material statute defines the term to include any image that has been created, altered, adapted, or modified by electronic, mechanical, or other means to portray an identifiable minor engaged in sexual conduct, reaching an AI-generated or AI-altered depiction the same as an unaltered photograph.

Using or inducing a child in a sexual performance is a first-degree felony with a 15-year mandatory minimum, or 25 years in aggravated circumstances; promoting such a performance is a second-degree felony with a 5-year mandatory minimum; and possessing with intent to promote, or knowingly soliciting, possessing, controlling, or intentionally viewing such material, is a second-degree felony.

This AI-covering definition took effect , and the surrounding evidentiary criteria were further amended in 2025.
