Crimes and offenses; enticing a child for immoral purposes and electronic solicitation of a child, amended

HB 105 updates Alabama laws against child enticement and electronic solicitation. It expands the definition of "enticing" to include "grooming" (building emotional connections through manipulation, gift-giving, or online interactions) when targeting children under 16 for sexual acts, genital mutilation, or assault. The bill also broadens electronic solicitation to cover attempts to direct children into sexual acts or genital mutilation via digital means, and clarifies jurisdiction for such crimes to include any county where images were received or parties resided. These changes apply to individuals who target children under 16 or those believed to be that age.
