573.023. Sexual exploitation of a minor — penalties.
It’s a serious crime to create obscene material that involves a minor.
This law makes it a felony to take or make any kind of obscene photo or video that includes a minor. If the child is under 14, the penalty is even more severe.
1. A person commits sexual exploitation of a minor if they knowingly or recklessly take pictures, film, or create any obscene material involving a minor or child pornography.
2. Sexual exploitation of a minor is a class B felony. But if the minor is under 14 years old, it becomes a class A felony.
