Webster County School District

Senate Bill 73 2025​, related to sexual extortion, was passed during the 2025 legislative session and requires the district to provide information about sexual extortion to help ensure that parents/guardians have the resources they need to support their student(s) and protect them from being victimized (KRS 531.125).​

​Sexual extortion, also known as sextortion, occurs when someone threatens another person, through violence, harm to reputation, or distribution of explicit material, with the intent to coerce them into unwanted actions. These actions may include engaging in sexual conduct, providing explicit content, providing money or valuables, or complying with demands against the victims’ will. These situations can cause significant emotional distress and place victims in dangerous situations. Many victims feel forced to comply because they are scared of the repercussions. Below are sample letters that can be shared with parents/guardians, as well as age-appropriate information for students.
