What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Section 132(4) defines child pornography, for the purposes of the Trestny zakon, as a depiction of real or simulated sexual intercourse, another form of sexual contact, or similar sexual activity with a child or a person appearing to be a child, or a depiction of the exposed body parts of a child or a person appearing to be a child for sexual purposes.
Because that definition reaches a simulated depiction and a person merely appearing to be a child, it covers a computer-generated or otherwise AI-produced image regardless of whether any real child was involved. Section 368 punishes producing child pornography or a child-pornographic performance with imprisonment of four to ten years, rising to seven to twelve years, ten to fifteen years, or twelve to twenty years for aggravated forms.
Section 369 punishes reproducing, transporting, procuring, making accessible, or otherwise distributing child pornography with imprisonment of one to five years, rising to three to eight years, four to ten years, or seven to twelve years for aggravated forms. Section 370 punishes possessing child pornography, or acting with intent to access it through an electronic communication service, with imprisonment of up to two years.
