Assembly Bill 923 establishes a civil cause of action for victims of sexual extortion in Wisconsin. The bill allows victims, or their parents if they are minors, or personal representatives if the victim is deceased, to seek damages for physical injury, emotional distress, or property loss resulting from sexual extortion. Additionally, it permits wrongful death actions 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 identities of plaintiffs. It allows individuals 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, they may recover various damages, including emotional distress and punitive damages, along with reasonable attorney fees and litigation costs.
