Bill Detail

Bill C-275 aims to create new criminal offences related to "sexual assault material." This material is defined as visual recordings that explicitly and realistically depict non-consensual sexual activity. The bill proposes serious penalties, including up to 14 years in prison and significant fines, for activities such as making, publishing, distributing, or possessing such material for publication or distribution.

The bill also targets individuals who knowingly possess or access this material, with penalties varying based on the severity and intent. It seeks to deter the creation, spread, and viewing of exploitative content while including exceptions for legitimate purposes like law enforcement, science, medicine, education, or art. This legislation would affect anyone involved in the creation, dissemination, or even mere possession or viewing of these explicit recordings.
