Civil War Soldier in the Woodstock City Square.

WLS radio is reporting that Pam Althoff has gotten a bill out of committee that undoubtedly springs from the Woodstock policeman’s texting interaction with the daughter of one of his ex-girlfriends.  The following paragraph explains the legislation:

“We had a case in McHenry County where one of our police officers was sending inappropriate text messages to a 12-year-old girl asking her to send sexy pictures,” Althoff said. “So, what this bill attempts to do is add a new element to the offense of knowingly using a computer, online service, internet services, etc., to include the distribution of photographs that depict the sex organs of a child.”

This sounds like the bill State Rep. Jack Franks introduced on which the Northwest Herald did an article.
