    You’ll still go to jail, even if it is fake, even if it is a cartoon character.

      Depends on the country. Some only criminalize depictions where children were exploited or harmed, so the cartoon stuff might get a pass despite being nasty. AI images I’d imagine it might be hard to prove they aren’t real children and at that point might be treated like a robbery with a fake weapon or selling fake drugs (still chargeable as the real thing in most places)
