SB1056 regulates the disclosure of sexually explicit material in criminal cases in California.
SB1056 mandates that in criminal cases involving sexually explicit material depicting an adult victim, the court must issue a protective order governing its disclosure. This order aims to safeguard the victim's privacy, prevent unnecessary dissemination, and ensure the defendant's right to a fair trial. If a defendant is self-representing, the court may require the material to be viewed in a secured location. The bill also requires parties to notify the court if they receive additional material, which may be included in a protective order.
