HF 5114 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Action of nudifying an image of another person made a crime, and criminal penalties provided.

This bill makes it a crime to digitally alter or generate images of identifiable people to show intimate parts they did not originally have, provided the result looks realistic enough that a reasonable person would believe it is real. It directly affects anyone who intentionally creates such non-consensual "nudified" photos or videos, classifying the act as a felony punishable by up to two years in prison or a fine of $4,000, or both. The law defines "nudify" specifically as changing an image to depict an intimate area not present in the original while maintaining a realistic appearance that deceives viewers. This provision will only take effect on August 1, 2026, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
