This 2021 Wyoming law makes it a crime for an adult to share someone's intimate image without consent when the person had a reasonable expectation it would stay private. The definition of a covered 'image' expressly includes a 'computer generated image' that purports to represent an identifiable person, so fabricated or digitally generated intimate depictions fall within its scope. The offense is a misdemeanor.
Who is protected: Identifiable adults whose intimate images are disseminated without consent contrary to a reasonable expectation of privacy.
