What this law does
Nevada's existing unlawful-dissemination-of-intimate-image crime, NRS 200.780, already reached a photograph, film, videotape or other recorded image; a 2025 amendment to the definition of "intimate image" at NRS 200.770 added a photorealistic, digital, computer, or computer-generated image that a reasonable person would believe depicts an identifiable person's genitals, anus, or fully exposed female nipple, or an identifiable person engaged in sexual conduct.
A person who knowingly distributes such an AI-generated or digitally altered image of an identifiable person, created in a way that would lead a reasonable person to believe it is an actual depiction of that person, without the person's prior consent, is guilty of a category D felony; a person convicted is not required to register as a sex offender.
