Bill Summary
This joint resolution requires the Attorney General to undertake an investigation to determine whether certain pedophile organizations use the internet to encourage sex offenders to engage in sexual relationships that violate the laws of New Jersey. The internet is being used as a forum for pedophile organizations that actively recruit members, and promote the abolition of all age-of-consent laws. These organizations advocate the legalization of consensual sexual relationships between adults and minors, particularly men and boys. Age-of-consent laws, however, are necessary to prevent sexual abuse, and to protect children from being sexually exploited by adults. Unfortunately, modes of electronic communication, such as the internet, play a significant role in sex crimes committed against children. Necessary precautions should be taken to ensure that pedophile organizations are not using the internet to encourage sexual predators to violate the laws of this State.
AI Summary

The resolution highlights concerns that these organizations recruit members online and promote the abolition of age-of-consent laws, which are in place to protect children from sexual exploitation. The Attorney General is required to report the findings of this investigation to the Governor and the Legislature within one year of the resolution taking effect.
