SB 23 California Senate · 2021-2022 Regular Session

Disorderly conduct: distribution of intimate images: statute of limitations.

Summary
Under existing law, a person is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, if they intentionally distribute an image that was intended to remain private of the intimate body parts of another or of the person depicted engaged in a sex act, as specified. Existing law requires prosecution for this offense to be commenced within one year after commission of the offense. This bill would instead allow prosecution for this offense to commence within one year of the discovery of the commission of the offense, but no more than 4 years after the image was distributed.
