Republican State Sen. Jesse Jame
is author of a new bill
that would make grooming
a felony and include
prison time.
Why has it taken so long
for someone to write
a bill that
would turn into law
in the state
of Wisconsin
on this?
So trying to keep up
with technology today
I think that is
one of the challenges
in the amount
of grooming that's
going on through technology.
I think it's
really intensified and
it's dramatically increased.
I think
we need to try and
stay up with the times.
I wish I would have
thought about this when
when I first came into office
because I was
a sensitive crimes investigator
and I just
I didn't think about it.
I'm just going to be honest
with you.
I didn't think about it
until more recently
with the sexual extortion
that's been taking place.
Everything.
I think that's
the whole part of it
is the
the intensifying increase
that we're seeing in
these types of cases
and the impact that it's
having on our children.
We need to address it.
