Under Electronic Transmission of Certain Visual Material Depicting a Minor, a minor commits an offense if he promotes to another minor visual material depicting a minor engaging in sexual conduct or possesses such material, provided the actor produced the material or knows that another minor produced it. Which option correctly states that offense?

• A. Possessing such material
• B. Promoting to another minor
• C. Both A and B
• D. Neither A nor B

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that this statute makes two distinct offenses for a minor: possessing visual material depicting a minor engaging in sexual conduct, and promoting such material to another minor. Both offenses apply when the material was produced by the actor or when the actor knows that another minor produced it.

Because the scenario states that the minor either produced the material or knows that another minor produced it, the minor can be guilty for either action. If you possess the material, you’re committing the offense, provided the material fits the depiction and the production condition. If you promote it to another minor, that’s also an offense under the same provision with the same production knowledge condition. Therefore, both possessing and promoting are offenses in this context, which is why the combined option is correct.

In short, the law targets both keeping such material and distributing it to others, as long as the material depicts a minor and the production condition (you produced it or you know another minor produced it) is met.
