Criminal exposureYes

Criminal exposure note

First offense: category B felony, 1 to 15 years' imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $15,000. Subsequent offense: category A felony, 10 years to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole, and a fine of up to $15,000.

Penalty structure

The $15,000 fine cap under NRS 200.725(2) is the same for a first offense (category B felony, 1 to 15 years' imprisonment) and a subsequent offense (category A felony, 10 years to life with the possibility of parole); imprisonment, not the fine, is what escalates between tiers.

A 2025 amendment to NRS 200.700 expanded the definition of "computer-generated child sexual abuse material" to include a visual representation appearing to depict a child as the subject of a sexual portrayal or engaging in sexual conduct where the representation is created by the use of artificial intelligence or other computer technology capable of processing and interpreting specific data inputs, and is indistinguishable from an actual minor to an ordinary viewer.

NRS 200.725 makes it unlawful to knowingly prepare, advertise or distribute computer-generated child sexual abuse material; a first offense is a category B felony (one to fifteen years' imprisonment, a fine of up to $15,000, or both), and a subsequent offense is a category A felony (ten years to life with the possibility of parole, and a fine of up to $15,000).
