SB 120 expands South Dakota's invasion of privacy law to make it illegal to create and share fake but realistic nude images or sexual images of someone without their consent, if done to harass, embarrass, or gratify yourself. The bill adds this new offense to the existing law that already prohibited secretly recording intimate images of real people, bringing deepfakes and manipulated sexual images under the same criminal protections.
