SEX CRIMES

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The legislation strengthens protections for minors by prohibiting threats to disclose real intimate images and making the disclosure of A.I.-generated explicit images a felony when the victim is a minor. These updates directly address the growing problem of sextortion, where offenders use real or fabricated explicit images to threaten,coerce,orextortminorsformoney,additionalimages,orotherexploitativedemands. Bycriminalizing both the threat to disclose real images and the distribution of A.I.-generated images involving minors, the bill closes gaps in current law, modernizes protections against technology-facilitated abuse, and provides law enforcement clearer authority to intervene and hold perpetrators accountable.
