HR 6715 makes digitally faked sexually explicit images of real minors prosecutable under federal child exploitation laws.
35-second read · 4 questions answered below
The bill redefines "engaged in" sexually explicit conduct so a real minor counts as having engaged in it even if their image was digitally inserted into explicit content rather than physically created. It amends two federal laws: one on sexual exploitation of children and one on importing sexually explicit depictions of minors.
Affects law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts handling child exploitation cases. Also affects people who create or distribute digitally manipulated sexually explicit images of real children.
People who create fabricated sexually explicit images of real minors using digital editing or AI could now face the same federal charges as those who physically produced such material.
