Any property or material that portrays child pornography or a sexual performance by a minor shall not be filed with or stored by the court unless introduced as an exhibit for trial. Storage of trial court exhibits portraying child pornography or a sexual performance by a minor shall be in accordance with a court order. Notwithstanding any other law or rule of court, a court shall deny, in any proceeding, any request by the defendant to copy, photograph, duplicate, or otherwise reproduce any property or material that portrays a sexual performance by a minor or constitutes child pornography so long as law enforcement, the prosecutor, or the court, if the matter was introduced as an exhibit at trial, makes the property or material reasonably available to the defendant. For the purposes of this section, property or material shall be deemed reasonably available to the defendant if the prosecutor provides ample opportunity at a designated facility for the inspection, viewing, and examination of the property or material that portrays a sexual performance by a child or constitutes child pornography by the defendant, his or her attorney, or any individual whom the defendant uses as an expert during either the discovery process or a court proceeding.
