In the statute concerning an obscene depiction of a purported child, defines "indistinguishable" and provides that "purported child" means a visual representation that depicts an individual indistinguishable from an actual (rather than appears to depict a) child under the age of 18 but may or may not depict an actual child under the age of 18.
