New Jersey A2951 amends the state's child pornography laws by upgrading certain offenses to higher degrees, clarifying definitions, and establishing new penalties. It makes it a first-degree crime for anyone to cause or permit a child to engage in or simulate a prohibited sexual act knowing it would be photographed or reproduced. Possession of child pornography is upgraded to a third-degree crime. The bill also introduces the crime of "virtual" child pornography, making it a second-degree crime to use a device to produce or reproduce an image of a child in a prohibited sexual act.
