State Reps. John Fitzgerald, Kara Hope and Jenn Hill introduced a package of bills collectively known as “Jordan D’s Law,” aimed at combating the growing threat of online sextortion targeting minors and vulnerable individuals. The legislation is named in memory of Jordan, a 17-year-old from Marquette, who tragically took his own life in 2022 after falling victim to an online sextortion scheme. The bills establish penalties for individuals who intentionally threaten to release sexually explicit material to compel victims against their will.
