165.505 (1) (bg) 3. of the statutes;
relating to:
Internet
2
crimes against children administrative subpoenas for the crime of sexual
3
extortion when the crime victim is a child.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the attorney general may subpoena a provider of an electronic communication service or a remote computing service to compel the production of certain information if the information likely to be obtained is relevant to an ongoing investigation of a human trafficking crime or an Internet crime against a child and the attorney general has reasonable cause to believe either that an Internet or electronic service account provided by an electronic communication service or a remote computing service has been used in the crime. Additionally, the attorney general may subpoena a hotel to compel the production of certain information if the information likely to be obtained is relevant to an ongoing investigation of a human trafficking crime or an Internet crime against a child and the attorney general or his or her designee has reasonable cause to believe that a room provided by a hotel has been used in the crime.
This bill provides that the crime of sexual extortion is an Internet crime against a child for the purposes of Internet crimes against children administrative subpoenas, if the crime victim was under the age of 18 at the time of the offense.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
