Overview
This bill updates New Jersey’s criminal laws to include offenses related to the creation and distribution of nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes and the threats associated with them. It expands existing laws regarding invasion of privacy and criminal coercion to specifically address deepfakes, which are digitally manipulated images or videos that appear realistic. The bill also clarifies the circumstances under which disclosing such images is a crime, with penalties ranging from third to fourth degree offenses, depending on the nature of the threat and disclosure.
