South Dakota's criminal privacy law is being expanded to cover digitally fabricated sexual images—photos or videos that have been altered to make it look like a real person is in a sexual situation, even if they never were. The bill makes it illegal to create, distribute, or sell these fake intimate images of identifiable people, with penalties for doing so. The law also clarifies and strengthens the existing prohibition on secretly recording people without their consent.
