Kentucky sexting bill moves forward
March 3, 2010
FRANKFORT, KY (AP) – The Kentucky House has passed a bill that could result in fines and community service for teenagers caught sending nude photos via cell phones or online.
The measure, which passed 99-0 on Wednesday, is aimed at cracking down on the problem of sexting – the sharing of sexually explicit photos or videos by cell phone or online.
Rep. Martha Jane King, lead sponsor OF bill 143, said teenagers aren’t aware of the severity of what they’re doing when they engage in sexting.
