Wisconsin State Rep Amanda Nedweski and State Senator Jesse James sent out a press release boasting of a anti-grooming bill they introduced on Monday. If passed, the bill will:
Under LRB-5392/LRB-5397, grooming is defined as a “course of conduct, pattern of behavior, or series of acts intended to condition, seduce, or entice a child for the purpose of sexual activity or exploitation.” Examples include sexualized conversations, inappropriate physical contact, digital communications designed to lure a child, and efforts to isolate a child from family or peers.The bill establishes a Class G felony as the base penalty for offenders convicted of grooming a child for sexual activity. Penalties increase if the offender holds a position of trust or authority over the child, if the victim has a disability, or if the offense involves multiple children. Those convicted would also be required to register as sex offenders under 301.45, Wis. Stats.
As a former child welfare worker, I can tell you that there are already state statutes with more severe penalities already in the books. But it's an election year and the Republicans have to look like they are doing something.
My only question about their proposed law is will that allow the authorities to finally arrest President Pedo?
