AI Summary

  • Creates section 847.0136, Florida Statutes, prohibiting individuals from intentionally and knowingly disclosing sexually explicit images of identifiable persons via electronic mediums with intent to harass, if the person depicted did not consent to disclosure.

  • Establishes criminal penalties of second degree misdemeanor for violations; elevates to first degree misdemeanor if offender is over 18 years old and the image depicts someone younger than 16 years of age.

  • Defines key terms including "disclose" (publish, post, distribute, exhibit, advertise, offer, or transfer), "harass" (conduct causing substantial emotional distress with no legitimate purpose), and "sexually explicit image" (private photograph or recording of nudity or sexual intercourse).

  • Establishes state jurisdiction if any element of the offense or resulting harm occurs within Florida; exempts law enforcement reporting and consensual public or commercial disclosures from the prohibition.

  • Requires courts to order offenders convicted under this section prohibited from any contact with victims during their sentence; violations constitute third degree felonies with sentences running consecutive to the underlying conviction.
