On Monday, a bill that would mostly decriminalize teen sexting passed off the floor of the Washington State House, but not without resistance from Republican representative Brad Klippert, who spent a lot of his time screaming about the depravity of anal sex and other acts after legislators rejected his amendment.
You can watch his full rant here:
Under Washington State's current child-pornography laws, minors can be charged with a felony for sending nudes to one another. Convictions can put teens on the sex offender registry for life, making it harder for them to go to college and find jobs and housing.
It's happened several times before. A few years ago, a 17-year-old was convicted of distributing child porn for sending an unsolicited dick pic to an older woman who worked for his mom. In 2017, the Washington State Supreme Court upheld that conviction, citing the legislature's desire to destroy the blight of child pornography everywhere, from production of the images to commercial gain," which included teens sending sexts.
Representative Noel Frame, who's been floating the bill to address this problem for two years now, says advocates have told her that nearly 50 kids have been accused of distributing child porn by sexting.

(7,947 posts)I remember back in the days when we still had to argue for gay marriage, GOPers never talked about -marriage- or love or family or joint checking accounts or any of the many marital things married people deal with. All they talked about was anal sex. You gotta wonder why that's such a preoccupation with them.
