The bill amends Section 13A-6-241 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to expand the definition of sexual extortion. It introduces new language that specifies the actions constituting sexual extortion, including knowingly causing or attempting to cause an individual to engage in sexually explicit conduct or produce recordings of such conduct through threats to harm the individual’s body, property, or reputation. Additionally, it includes a provision that criminalizes the act of threatening to release or transmit recordings of individuals engaged in sexually explicit conduct to compel them to act against their will.

The bill redefines certain terms, replacing "person" with "individual" and clarifying the definition of "sexually explicit conduct" as per Section 13A-12-190. The crime of sexual extortion is classified as a Class B felony under the amended law. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
