Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
On Wednesday, Attorney General, Bill McCollum will be present in Tallahassee for the signing of SB 1004, which is the CyberCrimes Against Children Act of 2007. Passing SB 1004 into law will strengthens the penalties against online predators by making it a major crime for those contacting children online and then travel to meet the children for the intent purpose of engaging in illegal sexual acts and abuse with them. SB 1004 also increases penalties for the possession or distribution of child pornography and for behavior known as “grooming.” Grooming occurs when internet predators misrepresent their age in order to make a child feel more comfortable for seducing him or her over the internet (May 4, 2007 News Release).
Evelyn out,
