Bill > H1395

This bill proposes to amend Section 26C of Chapter 265 of the General Laws, which deals with the enticement of children, by expanding the definition of how such enticement can occur. Specifically, it adds language to clarify that enticement can happen "by any means, including but not limited to: personal contact, postal mail, telephone, instant electronic messaging and electronic mail," to the existing prohibition against inviting a child to engage in illegal sexual conduct. This change aims to broaden the scope of the law to encompass various modern communication methods used for online enticement, ensuring that the law can address a wider range of potential offenses.
