AI Summary
This bill creates a new provision within Wisconsin statutes, specifically section 165.505 (1) (bg) 3., to address internet crimes against children, particularly the crime of sexual extortion when the victim is a child. Sexual extortion, as defined by section 942.095 of the statutes, involves demanding something of value from someone by threatening to reveal embarrassing or damaging information about them. This bill specifically allows for the issuance of administrative subpoenas in cases where this crime is committed against a child, meaning a person under the age of 18 as defined in section 948.01 (1) of the statutes. Administrative subpoenas are legal documents that allow law enforcement agencies to obtain information relevant to an investigation without necessarily needing a court order, which can expedite investigations into serious crimes like those involving child exploitation.
