Bill > SB314

This bill amends Georgia's laws on invasions of privacy to prohibit sexual extortion. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It defines "coerce" to include causing or threatening bodily harm, exposing information that could subject someone to criminal or immigration proceedings, removing government identification documents, or exposing nude or sexually explicit images of an individual. 2. It prohibits intentionally coercing someone over 18 years old to engage in sexually explicit conduct or distribute nude or sexually explicit images of themselves. 3. It establishes penalties for these offenses, with violations involving sexually explicit conduct punishable by 1-15 years in prison, and violations involving distribution of images punishable by up to 10 years in prison for repeat offenses. 4. It allows for prosecution in Georgia if the victim resides in the state, regardless of where the perpetrator is located. 5. It adds the new offense of "sexual extortion" to the list of "dangerous sexual offenses" that require registration on the state's Sex Offender Registry.
