Under existing law, a person commits the crime of sexual extortion if he or she knowingly causes or attempts to cause another person to engage in a sexual act or to produce any photograph, digital image, video, film, or other recording of any person, whether recognizable or not, engaged in any sexual conduct by communicating any threat to injure the body, property, or reputation of any person. This bill would further provide that a person commits the crime of sexual extortion if he or she knowingly threatens to release or transmit any photograph, digital image, video, film, or other recording of any individual, whether recognizable or not, engaged in any act of sexually explicit conduct in order to compel or attempt to compel the victim to do any act or refrain from doing any act against his or her will.
