Senate Bill 902 establishes a civil cause of action for victims of sexual extortion in Wisconsin. The bill allows individuals who suffer physical injury, emotional distress, or property loss due to sexual extortion to file a lawsuit against the perpetrator. This action can be initiated by the victim, their parent or legal guardian if the victim is a minor, or the personal representative of the victim's estate if the victim is deceased. Additionally, the bill permits wrongful death claims if the sexual extortion significantly contributed to the victim's suicide. Importantly, the bill allows these civil actions to proceed regardless of any related criminal proceedings or their outcomes.

The bill also includes provisions to protect the privacy of plaintiffs. It allows victims to use initials and their age and county of residence instead of their full names in legal documents, with the court maintaining confidentiality of their identifying information. Furthermore, the court can issue orders to safeguard plaintiffs from undue embarrassment or burden during the legal process. If a plaintiff prevails in their case, they may be awarded various damages, including those for emotional distress, punitive damages, and reasonable attorney fees.
