Sen. Jesse James on Wisconsin making child grooming a crime | Here & Now

Published | Video Starts at 02:51

I think the sensitive crimes that I have investigated as a law enforcement officer, having these additional tools and mechanisms available for charging is extremely valuable. And With the amount of times that each grooming act is defined, you could have a person that is charged with multiple felonies with just the grooming statute alone. And I think when we get to the courts in the charging of these cases, I think more is better. (02:51–03:07)

CLAIM

Asserts that the grooming statute allows for multiple felony charges for repeated acts.
