Georgia State University Law Review
The Act criminalizes transporting a person for the purpose of prostitution. It raises the punishment for sexual battery against a child under the age of 16 from a misdemeanor to a felony. It adds language criminalizing the depiction of a minor's body part engaged in any sexually explicit conduct. Finally, the Act substantially amends the Code language relating to computer pornography, obscene Internet contact with a child, and child exploitation prevention.
