Obscenity and child sexual abuse material; creating felony offenses and providing penalties. Effective date.
SB 593 creates new felony offenses for possessing or distributing child sexual abuse material in Oklahoma. It defines such material as any visual depiction of a child (under 18) engaged in explicit sexual acts - including simulated or altered images - or images appearing to show children in such acts, regardless of whether the image is real. Each separate image or depiction is treated as a distinct offense, increasing penalties for repeat violations. The bill updates legal definitions of terms like "sexually explicit conduct" (e.g., intercourse, bondage, or explicit exhibition) to clarify what constitutes illegal material. These changes aim to strengthen enforcement against offenders while providing clear legal standards for prosecutors and courts.
