In Re: People in interest of S.G.H. (Honorable John Lowenbach)

The petitioner seeks relief from the district court’s order of January 21, 2025.

On February 12, 2025, the Supreme Court issued an order to show cause why the district court did not err in ruling that computer-generated images created digitally via artificial intelligence can constitutionally qualify as “sexually exploitative material” for purposes of the crime of sexual exploitation of a child.  The respondent is directed to file a written answer by March 12, 2025.  The petitioner has 21 days from receipt of the answer to reply.
