California SB1015 aims to protect minors from online extortion by criminalizing the use of minors to commit illegal acts against others.

California SB1015, known as the "Protecting Our Children from Online Extortion Act," adds a new section to the Penal Code to criminalize adults who use minors to commit illegal acts against other minors, such as soliciting sexual conduct or images of intimate body parts. This includes using a minor as a conduit of communication for such activities. Violators face imprisonment in county jail for up to one year, a fine of up to one thousand dollars, or both.
