1
00:00:00,834 --> 00:00:02,236
Republican State Sen. Jesse Jame

2
00:00:02,302 --> 00:00:03,737
is author of a new bill

3
00:00:03,804 --> 00:00:05,239
that would make grooming

4
00:00:05,305 --> 00:00:06,974
a felony and include

5
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:07,875
prison time.

6
00:00:07,941 --> 00:00:09,409
Why has it taken so long

7
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:10,677
for someone to write

8
00:00:10,744 --> 00:00:12,112
a bill that

9
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:13,247
would turn into law

10
00:00:13,313 --> 00:00:13,814
in the state

11
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:14,548
of Wisconsin

12
00:00:14,615 --> 00:00:16,116
on this?

13
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:18,018
So trying to keep up

14
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:19,453
with technology today

15
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,587
I think that is

16
00:00:20,654 --> 00:00:22,089
one of the challenges

17
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:23,223
in the amount

18
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:24,124
of grooming that's

19
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:25,993
going on through technology.

20
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:26,627
I think it's

21
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:28,562
really intensified and

22
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:30,297
it's dramatically increased.

23
00:00:30,364 --> 00:00:31,999
I think

24
00:00:32,065 --> 00:00:32,966
we need to try and

25
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,234
stay up with the times.

26
00:00:34,301 --> 00:00:35,169
I wish I would have

27
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:36,003
thought about this when

28
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:37,371
when I first came into office

29
00:00:37,437 --> 00:00:38,172
because I was

30
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:39,306
a sensitive crimes investigator

31
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:39,973
and I just

32
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,941
I didn't think about it.

33
00:00:41,008 --> 00:00:41,842
I'm just going to be honest

34
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:42,509
with you.

35
00:00:42,576 --> 00:00:43,177
I didn't think about it

36
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:45,078
until more recently

37
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:46,847
with the sexual extortion

38
00:00:46,914 --> 00:00:48,682
that's been taking place.

39
00:00:48,749 --> 00:00:49,416
Everything.

40
00:00:49,483 --> 00:00:50,117
I think that's

41
00:00:50,184 --> 00:00:51,051
the whole part of it

42
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:51,752
is the

43
00:00:51,818 --> 00:00:53,654
the intensifying increase

44
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,388
that we're seeing in

45
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:55,756
these types of cases

46
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:56,823
and the impact that it's

47
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,126
having on our children.

48
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:01,628
We need to address it.
