This bill amends New Jersey's lewdness statute to create a new offense for electronically sending unsolicited nude images. It establishes that a person commits a disorderly persons offense if they knowingly transmit visual material depicting sexual conduct or intimate parts without the recipient's request or consent. Additionally, the bill specifies that exposing intimate parts, whether in person or via unsolicited electronic images, becomes a fourth-degree crime if the actor knows or expects that a child under 13 or a person with a mental disease or defect will observe the act.

The bill defines "electronic means" to include various communication devices and clarifies that "lewd acts" encompass exposing genitals for sexual gratification. A disorderly persons offense can result in up to six months of imprisonment and a $1,000 fine, while a fourth-degree crime can lead to up to 18 months of imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. This legislation aims to enhance protections against unsolicited sexual content and address the potential harm to vulnerable individuals.
