NRS 200.700  Definitions.  As used in NRS 200.700 to 200.760, inclusive, unless the context otherwise requires:

      1.  “Computer-generated child sexual abuse material” means:

      (a) Any visual depiction of:

             (1) An actual child that has been created, adapted or modified to depict the child as the subject of a sexual portrayal or engaging in, or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct; or

             (2) An actual person who is 18 years of age or older that has been created, adapted or modified to depict the person as a child and:

                   (I) As the subject of a sexual portrayal; or

                   (II) Engaging in, or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct; or

      (b) Any visual representation that appears to depict a child as the subject of a sexual portrayal or engaging in, or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct, if the representation is:

             (1) Created by the use of artificial intelligence or other computer technology capable of processing and interpreting specific data inputs to create a visual depiction; and

             (2) Indistinguishable from a minor.

      2.  “Indistinguishable” means virtually indistinguishable, such that an ordinary person viewing the visual depiction would conclude that the visual depiction is of an actual minor.

      4.  “Promote” means to produce, direct, procure, manufacture, sell, give, lend, publish, distribute, exhibit, advertise or possess for the purpose of distribution.

      5.  “Sexual conduct” means sexual intercourse, lewd exhibition of the genitals, fellatio, cunnilingus, bestiality, anal intercourse, excretion, sado-masochistic abuse, masturbation, or the penetration of any part of a person’s body or of any object manipulated or inserted by a person into the genital or anal opening of the body of another.

      6.  “Sexual portrayal” means the depiction of a person in a manner which appeals to the prurient interest in sex and which does not have serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
