French-kissing bill goes to governor
From Times wire reports
State legislators passed a law that would require adults who French-kiss a child younger than 13 to register as a sex offender.
Those convicted would be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. The bill now heads to Gov. Tim Kaine, who supports it.
Delegate Riley E. Ingram (R-Hopewell) introduced the bill on behalf of a woman whose 10-year-old daughter was French-kissed by her babysitter’s 62-year-old husband.
