OH: New Bill Will Lessen Penalties for Teens Sexting

January 30, 2020, 3:27 pm

The Ohio Senate is holding hearings for a bill that could ease up on the punishment for teenage sexting, as lawmakers argue the current punishment can carry lifelong consequences.

The proposed bill, SB239, still bans the act of teenagers sending sexually explicit images to other teenagers, however, it creates a standard punishment of attending a diversion program.

Senator Nathan Manning (R-North Ridgeville) says this helps teens avoid a potential felony and the possibility of being labeled a sex offender.
