When setting bail for someone arrested for child abuse, stalking, elderly abuse, or domestic violence crimes, the magistrate must carefully review the facts and consider the defendant's danger to others and flight risk before deciding if bail is appropriate and how much it should be.

Penalty: Violation

It is illegal to knowingly possess any image, picture, video, or material showing a minor engaged in sexual activity or simulated sexual activity that is extremely graphic. Sexual exploitation of a minor is a Class D felony punishable by 2-12 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Each separate image can result in a separate charge. This offense can be enhanced to a Class C or B felony based on factors like prior convictions or the nature of the material.

Penalty: Class D felony; 2-12 years; fine up to $5,000
