Obscenity and child sexual abuse material; creating felony offenses and providing penalties. Effective date.
SB 593 creates new felony offenses in Oklahoma for distributing or possessing certain visual depictions defined as "child sexual abuse material" or "obscene" under updated legal standards. It specifically targets materials showing minors (under 18) in sexually explicit conduct - including computer-generated images or altered photos that appear to depict children - and defines "sexually explicit conduct" to include acts like intercourse, masturbation, or sadomasochism. The bill clarifies that each individual image or depiction constitutes a separate offense and sets penalties for violations. It directly affects anyone distributing or possessing these materials within Oklahoma, with the law applying to both digital and physical formats.
