House Concurrent Resolution No. 33 establishes an interim committee in Idaho to study the crime of sextortion, which involves predators threatening to disclose intimate images in exchange for money or favors. This crime is particularly concerning as it predominantly affects individuals under 18 years of age, leading to severe mental health issues, financial loss, and reputational damage for victims. The resolution highlights the increasing prevalence of sextortion cases reported to the Idaho Office of the Attorney General and emphasizes the need for legislative action to address this issue.

The interim committee will be tasked with examining the effects of sextortion on victims, especially minors, and exploring prevention strategies. It will also review existing statutes to identify potential improvements and support mechanisms for victims. The committee will include legislators from both parties, representatives from relevant state agencies, and may appoint additional nonvoting members to represent stakeholders. The committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Idaho Legislature by January 31, 2027.
