This bill amends Alaska's criminal code to introduce new offenses related to the distribution and possession of generated obscene child sexual abuse material, categorizing them as class B and class C felonies, respectively. It establishes that possession of 100 or more items related to this material serves as prima facie evidence of intent to distribute. The bill also modifies existing laws on harassment and child sexual abuse material, adding new definitions and clarifications to enhance the legal framework surrounding these offenses.
Additionally, the legislation allows for the prosecution of offenses related to generated obscene child sexual abuse material at any time and protects individuals who report certain crimes from prosecution if they cooperate with law enforcement. It enforces stricter penalties by mandating consecutive terms of imprisonment for multiple offenses and updates the criteria for revoking professional teaching certificates for those convicted of specific sexual offenses. The bill aims to strengthen the legal response to child exploitation and improve protections for minors in Alaska.
