The bill amends Alaska's criminal laws to introduce stricter penalties and definitions concerning crimes related to generated obscene child sexual abuse material. It establishes two new offenses: the distribution and possession of such material, with possession of 100 or more items serving as prima facie evidence of intent to distribute. Distribution is classified as a class B felony, escalating to a class A felony for repeat offenders. The bill also modifies existing laws on harassment and child sexual abuse material, incorporating new definitions and exceptions for certain professionals acting within their employment scope.
Additionally, the bill expands the list of offenses that can be prosecuted at any time, including the distribution of generated obscene child sexual abuse material, and updates sentencing provisions to ensure stringent penalties for offenders, including potential life sentences for severe cases. It also addresses the revocation of professional licenses for individuals convicted of crimes involving minors, mandating lifetime revocation for those convicted of new offenses related to child sexual abuse material. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the legal framework for child protection and enhance the consequences for those involved in the creation, distribution, or possession of harmful materials involving minors.
