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 amendment to R.S. 14:283.2(A)(1) specifies 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 R.S. 14:283.2(C)(5), which provides a definition for "sexual performance." This definition includes any performance that features actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sadomasochistic abuse, or lewd exhibition of the genitals or anus. These changes aim to clarify the legal framework surrounding the nonconsensual sharing of private images and enhance protections for individuals against such violations.
