This law extends Delaware's protections against the non-consensual sharing of intimate images to cover deepfakes — digitally created or altered images that falsely depict an identifiable real person nude or engaged in sexual conduct. Victims can pursue the same civil remedies available for the unauthorized disclosure of real intimate images, and offenders can face criminal charges under the state's privacy-violation laws. When an adult creates a sexual or nude depiction of a minor, the conduct is treated as a felony rather than a misdemeanor. The measure is also known as the Amelia Kramer Act.
Who is protected: Identifiable individuals depicted in deepfake imagery as nude or engaged in sexual conduct without consent, including minors.
Legal detail
House Bill 353 (152nd General Assembly) amends Titles 10 and 11 of the Delaware Code to apply the civil remedies of the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act (10 Del. C. ch. 78) and Title 11 privacy-violation offenses to deepfake depictions of identifiable persons.
