It is illegal for an adult (age 18 or older) to use electronic communication, including video calls, to trick a minor into performing sexual acts or simulated sexual acts where the adult watches, or to perform sexual acts in front of a minor with the intent to arouse the minor or themselves, or to show sexual material to a minor for sexual purposes. A conviction is punishable by 1-6 years in prison and up to $3,000 in fines (Class E felony). If aggravating factors exist (such as repeat offenses or involving multiple minors), the sentence can increase to 8-30 years or more.

Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000
