Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to crimes; expanding the crime of unlawful dissemination of an intimate image to include certain acts relating to the distribution of certain photorealistic images, digital images, computer images and computer-generated images; providing an exception to the crime of unlawful dissemination of an intimate image for persons who are less than 18 years of age; revising the definition of “intimate image”; providing penalties; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

AI Summary

This bill revises Nevada law regarding the crime of unlawful dissemination of an intimate image by expanding the definition of "intimate image" to include photorealistic, digital, computer, and computer-generated images that a reasonable person would believe depicts a person's genitals, anus, or female nipple, or shows identifiable persons engaged in sexual conduct. The bill removes the previous exception for public figures and clarifies that the law applies when an image is created in a way that would make a reasonable person believe it is an actual depiction of a person. The legislation broadens the existing crime to include not just electronic dissemination, but also distribution of such images, with the intent to harass, harm, or terrorize another person. Importantly, the bill provides an exception for individuals under 18 years old, meaning minors would not be prosecuted under this law. The offense remains a category D felony, and individuals convicted under this statute are not classified as sex offenders. The bill aims to protect individuals from non-consensual sharing of intimate images, including sophisticated digitally created or manipulated images that could be used to harm or harass someone.
