Bill summary

Senate amendments make the following changes to the 3rd edition, as amended. 

Amendment #5 enacts new GS 14-190.9(a5) making it a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person in a private place to willfully expose his or her private parts with the knowing intent to be seen by a person in a public place. 

Amendment #6 creates a new subsection specifying the criminal penalties for disclosure of private images for those under 18 years of age. A first offense by a person under 18 years of age is a Class 1 misdemeanor and a second offense by such a person, or any offense by a person 18 years of age or older, is a Class H felony. The amendment clarifies that a violation is an offense additional to other civil and criminal provisions and does not repeal or preclude other sanctions or remedies. It also makes technical changes.
