OH: Lawmaker proposes bill to prevent sexting teens from winding up on registry

November 21, 2019, 3:35 pm

An Ohio state lawmaker has proposed banning sexting for those 18 and under.

Underage sexting is already illegal, but Senate Bill 239, introduced Wednesday, carves out a legal definition that makes it a less-serious offense than other crimes involving sexual images of minors.

The bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Nathan Manning, a North Ridgeville Republican, said his proposed law is meant to prevent minors from facing charges that would force them to register as a sex offender.
