AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Oklahoma law on nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images. It expands the law to include the act of extorting someone by disseminating their private sexual images without consent. Additionally, the bill establishes a 5-year statute of limitations for prosecuting violations of the law, with the time period beginning when the crime is reported to law enforcement. The bill clarifies that certain disseminations, such as for criminal investigations or public reporting of unlawful conduct, are exempt from the law's provisions. The penalty for violating the law is either a misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail and/or a fine, or a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison if the perpetrator gained financially or obtained something of value. Repeat felony offenders may face up to 10 years in prison and must register as sex offenders.
