(b) Except as provided in 46-18-219, if the victim is under 16 years of age or is a person, including a law enforcement officer using an undercover or fictitious identity, whom the offender believes to be a child under 16 years of age, a person convicted of the offense of sexual abuse of children shall be punished by life imprisonment or by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of not less than 4 years or more than 100 years and may be fined not more than $10,000.

(3) An offense is not committed under subsections (1)(d) through (1)(g) if the visual or print medium is processed, developed, printed, published, transported, distributed, sold, possessed, or possessed with intent to sell, or if the activity is financed, as part of a sexual offender information or treatment course or program conducted or approved by the department of corrections.

(4) (a) If the victim was 12 years of age or younger or is a person, including a law enforcement officer using an undercover or fictitious identity, whom the offender believed to be 12 years of age or younger and the offender was 18 years of age or older at the time of the offense, the offender:

(i) shall be punished by imprisonment in a state prison for a term of 100 years. The court may not suspend execution or defer imposition of the first 25 years of a sentence of imprisonment imposed under this subsection (4)(a)(i) except as provided in 46-18-222(1) through (5), and during the first 25 years of imprisonment, the offender is not eligible for parole.

(5) It is not a defense to prosecution under this section that the perceived child is an adult or law enforcement officer.

(6) As used in this section, the following definitions apply:

(a) "Computer-generated child pornography" means any visual depiction of:
