The key to all sexual exploitation cases is proving that the images involved are images of actual children. The Supreme Court ruled that computer generated images of children did not constitute child pornography. In Arizona, a person commits sexual exploitation of a minor by:

• Recording, filming, photographing, developing, or duplicating any visual depiction in which a minor is engaged in exploitive exhibition or other sexual conduct.
• Distributing, transporting, exhibiting, receiving, selling, purchasing, electronically transmitting, possessing or exchanging any visual depiction in which a minor is engaged in exploitive exhibition or other sexual conduct.
• If any visual depiction of sexual exploitation of a minor is admitted into evidence, the court shall seal that evidence at the conclusion of any grand jury proceeding, hearing or trial.

Sexual Exploitation of a Minor Sentencing

Sexual exploitation of a minor is a serious charge and is covered under, Arizona's mandatory sentencing laws. While the state generally prosecutes individuals who make and distribute child pornography, sentencing guidelines call for a ten to twenty-four year prison term for every image of a different child. With computer technology and the internet making child pornography more available and district attorneys pushing for no plea agreements for sex crimes, the likelihood of lengthy prison terms is increasing.
