Present law relative to the crime of "sexting" prohibits a person under the age of 17 years from knowingly and voluntarily using a computer or telecommunication device to transmit an indecent visual depiction of himself to another person. Present law also prohibits a person under the age of 17 from knowingly possessing or transmitting an indecent visual depiction that was transmitted by another person under the age of 17 in violation of present law.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law makes it unlawful for a person to produce, promote, advertise, distribute, possess, or possess with the intent to distribute child sexual abuse materials.
Proposed law retains present law but provides that when a person who is otherwise in violation of present law relative to child sexual abuse materials is under the age of 17, the provisions of present law relative to "sexting" will apply to the offense, unless the person committed the offense with the intent to obtain any thing of value or secure a privilege or advantage.
