Make sexually explicit texts to a minor illegal in Colorado

The Issue

Our current legislation is not up to date when it comes sexual exploitation of minors. Currently it is not against the law for an adult to send a sexually explicit text message to a minor child. While it is against the law to send a image or video, it is not illegal to proposition a child over text message. 

Let's ask our legislators to close this loophole and keep our children safe.

If you want an example of this situation, see this newspaper article.
