Louisiana is joining a national push to outlaw sex dolls that look like children, with a bill that would make it a crime to knowingly possess, distribute, sell or manufacture such items.
FILE - The Louisiana Capitol stands on April 4, 2023, in Baton Rouge, La. Louisiana is moving closer to outlawing sex dolls that look like children with a bill that would make it a crime to knowingly possess, distribute, sell or manufacture such items. The bill received unanimous bipartisan support from members of the Senate on Monday, March 19, 2024. BATON ROUGE, La.
“Often times I think I have heard it all,” Sen. Regina Barrow said of unusual issues that are brought to light during legislative sessions. “But this, I am lost for words.” “We haven’t arrested anybody because we don’t have a law that allows them to go out on a call for this to to arrest anybody,” Mizell, a Republican, said during a committee hearing last week. “The concern here, really, is the sexualization of children.”Under the proposed legislation, it makes it a crime to import, transport, buy, sell, manufacture or possess a child sex doll.
