Modernize Sex Crimes.

This bill updates North Carolina's sex crime laws by creating new offenses for sexual extortion and refining definitions related to the sexual exploitation of minors. It specifically addresses the threat of sharing private images to force someone into acts, defining "private images" to include those created or modified by artificial intelligence, and establishes felony penalties for adults while imposing stricter penalties on repeat offenders. Additionally, the legislation clarifies what constitutes an "identifiable minor" in digital media and expands the scope of protected material to include computer-generated depictions, ensuring that laws cover images produced through modern technology.
