Bill Summary
Amend KRS 531.335, relating to possession or viewing of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, to provide that the sexual performance may be by a computer-generated image of a minor; provide that any person convicted of possession or viewing of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor shall not be released on probation or parole without serving 85% of the sentence imposed.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Kentucky law (KRS 531.335) concerning the possession or viewing of material depicting sexual performances by minors. The key changes are that the law will now explicitly include computer-generated images of minors in addition to actual minors, meaning that possessing or viewing such simulated content will be treated the same as possessing or viewing content with real minors. Furthermore, the bill introduces a significant sentencing provision: any person convicted under this law will be required to serve at least 85% of their imposed sentence before being eligible for probation or parole, meaning early release options will be severely restricted. This aims to ensure that individuals convicted of these serious offenses serve a substantial portion of their punishment.
