New protections against fake sexual images

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma bans sharing fake nude or sexual depictions without the depicted person's effective consent when intended to harass, annoy, threaten, alarm, or cause harm, or done with reckless disregard for those effects. These depictions show nudity or sexual conduct that never happened and are substantially made through technology, including artificial intelligence; coverage includes any format and data convertible into a depiction. The law also covers real sexual images shared without effective consent when the sender knew or should have known they were private. Exceptions cover lawful criminal investigations, reporting unlawful conduct, voluntary public or commercial exposure, and other lawful purposes; specified internet and communications providers are protected from liability for third-party content. Courts can order images or depictions removed when removal is within the defendant's power.

Prison penalties for sexual image abuse

Beginning November 1, 2025, a misdemeanor violation carries up to one year in county jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. Violating or attempting to violate the law to obtain money, property, or anything of value through sharing or threatened sharing carries up to five years in state prison, including for fake sexual depictions. A second or later violation of that felony rule carries up to ten years and requires sex-offender registration. Illegally sharing three or more covered images or fake sexual depictions within six months is also a felony carrying up to ten years. Convictions are subject to the law's referenced forfeiture rules, and prosecutors cannot use the specified misdemeanor-charge option for the value-seeking felony. Prosecution under other applicable laws remains allowed.
