Thank you, News Channel 3-12 for continuing to cover Assembly Bill 1831. We are hopeful this important piece of legislation will become law by the fall. It will close loopholes in California law by outlawing AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Today, Deputy DA Rikole Kelly and 16-year-old Ventura County resident Kaylin Hayman were interviewed. Kaylin was the victim of morphed child sexual abuse material, and has become a strong advocate for #ab1831.
Look for the story on KEYT-KCOY in the near future.
