The Weld, Morgan, and Logan County, Colorado law definition of Sexual Exploitation of a Child – C.R.S. 18-6-403 – is:

(3) A person commits sexual exploitation of a child if, for any purpose, he or she knowingly:

(b.5)  Possesses or controls any sexually exploitative material for any purpose; except that this subsection (3)(b.5) does not apply to law enforcement personnel, defense counsel personnel, or court personnel in the performance of their official duties, nor does it apply to physicians, psychologists, therapists, or social workers, so long as such persons are licensed in the state of Colorado and the persons possess such materials in the course of a bona fide treatment or evaluation program at the treatment or evaluation site

As long as the person possesses fewer than 20 images, then Possession of Child Pornography is a class 5 felony. If there are more than 20 images or it is a second or subsequent offense, then it is a class 4 felony.
