What is the law sexual performance of a child relate too? Is it the creation of child porn. Or does it relate to a minor taking a picture of themselves and sending it to someone else? I'm confused

What is the legal meaning of sexual performance of a child. Does it mean or have something to do with creation of child porn. Or is it involve sexting with a minor sending a picture to another person? What would be an example of this law

The Missouri law states:

568.090. 1. A person commits the crime of promoting a sexual performance if, knowing the character and content thereof, the person promotes a sexual performance by a child less than seventeen years of age or produces, directs, or promotes any performance which includes sexual conduct by a child less than seventeen years of age.

2. Promoting a sexual performance is a class C felony.

I suggest you ask no more questions about this to anyone.
You are best served to speak ONLY with your attorney.

The charge you asked about is very serious.

I vote double on the suggestion by @army judge to immediately speak to an attorney. I'm sure that you know that people frown significantly on sex offenders. Even in prison I have heard that there is a great deal of animosity shown towards child predators. I'm not saying you are guilty of the crime but only that people are whom they are, made up of emotions. You want to make sure you're adequately represented given that the charges against you are of this nature. And as also suggested, you are best served not discussing it with anyone other than your attorney, which protects your conversations discussing the actual facts of the event under the attorney-client privilege.
