DISCLOSURE OF PRIVATE IMAGES BY OFFENDER UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE. MISDEMEANOR.
NOTE WELL: This instruction should be used for offenses
committed by a person who is under 18 years of age at the time
of the offense. This instruction applies for offenses committed on
or after December 1, 2024. For offenses committed before
December 1, 2024 use N.C.P.I.—Crim. 235.65A.
The defendant has been charged with disclosure of private images.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
six things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant on (name date) knowingly disclosed an image 1
of another person with the intent 2 to [coerce] [harass] [intimidate] [demean]
[humiliate] [cause financial loss to] the depicted person.
Second, that on that date the defendant was under the age of 18 at the
time of the offense.
Third, that the depicted person was identifiable from the [disclosed
image] [information offered in connection with the image].
Fourth, that the [depicted person’s intimate parts 3 [were exposed]
[were realistically depicted to be exposed]] [depicted person [was engaged]
[was realistically depicted to be engaged] in sexual conduct 4] in the disclosed
image.
Fifth, that the defendant disclosed the image without the affirmative
consent of the depicted person.
And Sixth, that the defendant [obtained] [created] [adapted] [modified]
the image [without the consent of the depicted person] [under circumstances
such that the defendant [knew] [should have known] that the depicted person
expected the image to remain private].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant knowingly disclosed an image of another
person with the intent to [coerce] [harass] [intimidate] [demean] [humiliate]
[cause financial loss to] the depicted person, that the defendant was under 18
at the time of the offense, that the depicted person was identifiable from the
[disclosed image] [information offered in connection with the image], the
disclosed image shows the [depicted person’s intimate parts [were exposed]
[were realistically depicted to be exposed]] [depicted person [was engaged]
[was realistically depicted to be engaged] in sexual conduct], that the
defendant disclosed the image without the affirmative consent of the depicted
person, and that the defendant [obtained] [created] [adapted] [modified] the
image [without the consent of the depicted person] [under circumstances such
that the defendant [knew] [should have known] that the depicted person
expected the image to remain private], then it would be your duty to return a
verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or
more of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
