Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether surreptitiously recorded videos and images of minors in a bathroom depict those minors engaging in "sexually explicit conduct"—namely, the "lascivious exhibition" of genitals—when the recordings depict nudity but do not show the minor (or anyone else) engaging in sexual or sexually suggestive activity of any kind.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the definition of 'sexually explicit conduct' in federal child pornography statutes turns on objective characteristics of the depicted images or the subjective intent of the photographer
