Fifteen States Act to Curb on Sex Fiends
An Associated Press survey shows fifteen states and the District of Columbia have acted recently to crack down on sex fiends while thirty three states have taken no action.

Representative Chelf proposes federal penalties for molesting children, while Governor Williams and Governor Warren advocate harsher handling and funding for mental treatment or improved enforcement.
