What France Code Pénal Article 227-23 - Distribution, Recording, and Possession of Child Pornographic Imagery requires
Article 227-23 of the French Code Pénal criminalises the recording, transmission, distribution, importation, exportation, offering, making available, acquisition, viewing, and possession of pornographic images of a minor. The first paragraph covers production-stage offences: recording, transmission, or attempting to record/transmit (5 years imprisonment, EUR 75,000 fine). The second paragraph covers distribution-stage: distribution, importation, exportation (5 years, EUR 75,000 fine; 7 years and EUR 100,000 fine if via electronic communication network). The third paragraph covers consultation/possession (2 years, EUR 30,000 fine; 5 years and EUR 75,000 fine for habitual consultation). Where the victim is under 15 or there is organised conduct, aggravated penalties apply. The 2021 amendment extended scope to apparent-minor imagery. Article 227-23 is France's central CSAM provision.
