Those who create a sexual deepfake of someone without consent face up to 10 years in prison​. Those who share or distribute such material (even if they didn’t create it) can get up to 7 years, and merely possessing deepfake porn can lead to 5 years behind bars. Penalties escalate for aggravated cases – if the deepfake is used to harass or blackmail or if the victim is a minor, sentences can reach 15 years.<ref name="GLI2024"/>
