When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

VA - Alicia's Law suffers a defeat in the House of Delegates

02/07/2008

A defeat for a law that would protect children from online sexual predators in the House of Delegates.

Alicia's Law is named for a woman who was sexually assaulted when she was 13 by an online sexual predator from Virginia. The law would've provided money for more investigators and create three forensic computer labs.

Law enforcement agencies say they know of more than 19,000 computers in Virginia where hard core child pornography is being stored and shared, but say they don't have the resources to go after them.

An identical bill sponsored by Bath County Senator Creigh Deeds is still awaiting approval for funding in the Senate

Yet they have the resources to go after those who fall behind in child support. I guess child support is more of an issue then child porn in VA, since they get money for the Fed's for child support and not for going after child porn makers...... VA is really becoming a Fuckup State to work or to live.
