What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 176(3) punishes, to the same extent as paragraph 2, whoever for themself or another acquires, produces, distributes, sells, imports, exports, or otherwise offers pornographic or other sexual material that involves a minor or a minor's realistic likeness, or whoever possesses such material or gains access to it by means of information or communication technology, or discloses the identity of a minor depicted in it.
Because the provision reaches material involving a minor's realistic likeness (njihove realistične podobe) and not only material depicting an actual child, it extends to a synthetic, computer-generated, or otherwise artificial depiction that realistically portrays what appears to be a minor.
