In other legislative news, the full Senate okayed a bill aimed at what's called sextortion, which happens when someone sexually explicit images are used against them.

Senate Bill 73 would make sextortion a felony.

State Senator Julie Rocky Adams says her bill would also give victims a legal way to seek justice.

Also, an amendment attached to the bill today increases the grade level for age appropriate educational materials posted in public schools from fourth to sixth grade.

Sexual extortion is one of the most dangerous and rapidly growing crimes targeting young people today.

The FBI reports that sextortion is the fastest growing crime against children.

It is calculated, it is cruel, and it thrives on fear and silence.

As a mom of teenagers, I have been shocked at what goes on in our elementary schools, our middle schools or high schools as kids get access to technology sooner and sooner than previously, especially when we were growing up.

You know, when the kids were little.

I talked to a detective about what I could do to prevent them seeing certain things or engaging in certain behavior online to protect them from bad actors.

And he gently said, If you're trying to prevent that from happening, you're kind of on a fool's errand.

Bad actors are going to be one step ahead of you every time.

It's not a matter of if your kid gets exposed to something.

It's wind.

And the best thing you can do is educate them on what to do when they see it.

Who to respond to?

Who to talk to and where to get help.

And I think the education part of this bill is really important.

Senate Bill 73 unanimously passed the full Senate and now heads to the House for consideration.

There.
