Grooming; revise age of child when person is in a position of trust.

Summary

The bill changes Mississippi’s child‑grooming statute to treat anyone over 21 who targets a child under 16 as a felony, and imposes harsher penalties when the offender holds a position of trust and the child is under 18. It defines key terms, sets prison terms and fines, and directs fines to a victims’ fund. The measure failed, dying in committee.
