Harassment by Nonconsensual Dissemination of Nude or Sexual Visual Depictions (including digitally created depictions)

Iowa's harassment statute makes nonconsensual sharing of nude or sexual images a first-degree harassment crime. A 2024 amendment extends it to images that were created, adapted, or modified from a recognizable person's face or likeness, which covers AI-generated sexual deepfakes, and requires adult offenders to register as sex offenders.
