Stop Sextortion Act

This bill makes it a federal crime to threaten to share sexual images of children in order to scare, pressure, blackmail, or seriously upset someone, a practice known as sextortion. It also increases prison time for existing crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children when those crimes include using such images to intimidate, pressure, blackmail, or cause serious emotional distress. Anyone who attempts or conspires to commit these offenses can also face criminal penalties.
