If you get it wrong

Criminal exposureYes

Criminal exposure note

RSA 649-A:3-c, VI makes a violation a class B felony. New Hampshire's general felony fine cap under RSA 651:2, IV(a) is $4,000 for an individual, or up to double the defendant's gain from the offense in lieu of that cap.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

RSA 649-A:3-c defines and grades the offense of creating a child intimate visual representation, including a synthetic image; it creates no duty for any party to keep a log, record or other documentation, and names nobody who may check one.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

No person may knowingly create, produce, manufacture, or direct an intimate visual representation of an identifiable child for prurient purposes.

The chapter defines the covered representation to include a synthetic image, one that has been altered or created depicting an individual's image in a realistic but false representation, alongside an ordinary photograph, film, video, or digital image, so an AI-generated or AI-altered intimate image of a child falls within the prohibition on the same footing as an authentic one. A violation is a class B felony.
