Senators advanced a bill April 18 that would change provisions of the state\u2019s criminal child enticement law.<\/p>\n
LB665, introduced by Sen. Pete Pirsch of Omaha, would prohibit attempts to solicit, coax, entice or lure a child under the age of 14 to enter a place intending to seclude him or her from a parent, guardian, legal custodian or the general public, whether or not the person knows the age of the child.<\/p>\n
Current law prohibits only the luring of a child into a vehicle.<\/p>\n
Violations would be a Class IIIA felony. If the perpretrator has been convicted of criminal child enticement, assault or sexual assault of a child, kidnapping or false imprisonment of a victim younger than 18, he or she could be guilty of a Class III felony.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are real dangers that exist for children in our state,\u201d Pirsch said. \u201cLB665 is a bill that is intended to better protect children.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bill was advanced from general file on a 39-0 vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
