Criminal exposure note
RSA 649-A:3-c, VI makes a violation a class B felony. New Hampshire's general felony fine cap under RSA 651:2, IV(a) is $4,000 for an individual, or up to double the defendant's gain from the offense in lieu of that cap.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
No person may knowingly create, produce, manufacture, or direct an intimate visual representation of an identifiable child for prurient purposes.
The chapter defines the covered representation to include a synthetic image, one that has been altered or created depicting an individual's image in a realistic but false representation, alongside an ordinary photograph, film, video, or digital image, so an AI-generated or AI-altered intimate image of a child falls within the prohibition on the same footing as an authentic one. A violation is a class B felony.
