N C Senate weighs child porn bill expanding youth protection
RALEIGH AP. A Senate committee considers a bill by Sen. Bobby Lee Combs to pursue young person mistreatment prosecutions for using anyone under 18 in producing adult material. The measure would extend the current 16 age limit to 18 and keep the act within young person mistreatment statutes rather than obscenity laws. Combs cites potential but unverified local production and notes teen posing for photographs as a concern. Senate officials and Henson Barnes discuss related obscenity efforts and officer input finds no evidence of local production in North Carolina.
