Spencer Speaks On Sexual Solicitation Legislation
Freshman State Representative James Brandon Spencer a (D-Prestonsburg) spoke today as the House of Representatives took up his bill which would stiffen penalties for adults who sexually solicit minors online.
“56 percent of the predators ask the child for a photo and 27 ask the child for a sexual photograph” said Spencer speaking on the House Floor.
Spencer continued “Studies show 31% of the sexual solicitations involve attempts to make offline contact and this is particularly scary seeing considering all 5 % of the incidents are reported to law enforcement.”
The measure passed unanimously in the house and now moves to the state Senate for consideration.
