This bill amends Louisiana's law regarding the nonconsensual disclosure of private images by modifying the definition of the offense and adding specific elements. The existing law is amended to clarify that a person commits this offense when they intentionally disclose an image of another person who is seventeen years of age or older, identifiable from the image, and who is either engaged in a sexual performance or has their intimate parts exposed.

Additionally, the bill enacts a new definition for "sexual performance," which encompasses any performance that includes actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sadomasochistic abuse, or lewd exhibition of the genitals or anus. This new legal language aims to provide clearer guidelines for prosecuting cases of nonconsensual image disclosure and to enhance protections for individuals against such violations.
