SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Sex offenses involving a child; communications systems and indecent liberties. Provides that it shall be unlawful for any person 18 years of age or older to use a communications system, including computers, computer networks, bulletin boards, or any other electronic means, for the purposes of soliciting, with lascivious intent, any person he knows or has reason to believe is a child younger than 15 years of age to knowingly and intentionally propose that any such child feel or fondle his own sexual or genital parts. The provision also applies if the child is at least 15 and the perpetrator is more than seven years older than the child. Currently, it is unlawful to, among other things, propose that the child feel or fondle the sexual or genital parts of such person or propose that such person feel or fondle the sexual or genital parts of the child. The bill also includes in indecent liberties proposing that a child under the age of 15 feel or fondle his own sexual or genital parts. This bill is identical to HB 1745.
