General

What it requires

  • Do not knowingly cause the disclosure of an intimate image of another person, including a digitally created, manipulated or altered depiction that is reasonably realistic, with intent to harass, humiliate or injure that person, where the person has not consented and a reasonable person would be harassed, humiliated or injured.
  • A repeat violation is a more serious offense than a first violation.

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

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

Oregon's crime of unlawfully disseminating an intimate image, previously limited to a photograph, film or other visual reproduction, now also reaches a digitally created, manipulated or altered depiction that is reasonably realistic, so a deepfake or AI-generated nude or sexual image of a real, identifiable person falls within the same crime as an authentic one.

The person must have caused the disclosure with intent to harass, humiliate or injure someone who did not consent, and a reasonable person must be harassed, humiliated or injured by it. A first offense is a Class A misdemeanor; a second or later offense is a Class C felony.

Law enforcement activity, legitimate medical, scientific or educational activity, legal proceedings, reporting to law enforcement, and images the depicted person voluntarily displayed publicly or that were created commercially with consent are excluded.
