State Representative Brian Lorenz (R-Powell) has proposed a new bill to categorize sexual extortion as a criminal offense in Ohio. Sexual extortion, commonly referred to as sextortion, involves the manipulation of individuals into sharing explicit images of themselves. Perpetrators then threaten to publicize these images unless they receive payment from the victims. Predominantly, sextortion criminals target individuals under the age of 18.
