This bill amends Alaska's criminal code to address the distribution and possession of generated obscene child sexual abuse material, introducing new offenses and establishing penalties that vary based on prior convictions. Specifically, it defines "distribution of generated obscene child sexual abuse material" as a class B or class A felony, while "possession of generated obscene child sexual abuse material" is categorized as a class C felony. The bill also stipulates that possessing 100 or more items related to such material serves as prima facie evidence of intent to distribute. Additionally, it modifies existing laws on harassment and child sexual abuse material, enhancing protections for individuals reporting crimes and updating the legal framework for property forfeiture related to these offenses.
Moreover, the bill revises sentencing guidelines for various sexual offenses, particularly those involving child sexual abuse material, establishing new categories based on the number of felony convictions. For example, a first felony conviction may result in a sentence of two to 15 years, while a third felony conviction could lead to a sentence of 20 to 35 years, or up to 99 years for defendants with prior sexual felony convictions. The bill also amends definitions related to the revocation of professional licenses for individuals convicted of crimes involving minors and clarifies the imposition of consecutive terms for multiple offenses. Overall, the legislation aims to strengthen penalties for sexual crimes against children and enhance the legal framework surrounding these offenses.
