Senator Middleton Authors and Passes Bill to Protect Children from Harmful Materials and Sexualization

AUSTIN- Senate Bill 412 protects Texas children from sexualization and is on the way to Governor Abbott to be signed into law. There is never a reason to give a child pornography or have them sexually perform for an adult. 

“This bill removes affirmative defense loopholes that made it harder to prosecute predators for showing harmful materials to children and sexual performances of a child,” said Senator Middleton. “S.B. 412 protects our innocent children and ensures those that harm them are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I will always fight to protect our kids and am proud to have authored this important legislation.”
