Release from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office
In 2005, Grassley introduced legislation named after Jetseta Gage, a 10-year old Cedar Rapids girl who was sexually assaulted and murdered by a registered sex offender. A modified version of “Jetseta’s Bill” was incorporated into the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety bill. “Jetseta’s Bill” created mandatory minimums of imprisonment for criminals who committed murder, kidnapping, or serious bodily harm against children.
“We made a good start in the Adam Walsh bill, but it’s not enough for people who commit these despicable crimes,” Grassley said. …
“S. 3014: A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to strengthen penalties for child pornography offenses, child sex trafficking offenses, and other sexual offenses committed against children.”
Also referred to as The “Prevention and Deterrence of Crimes Against Children Act of 2008.”

Being always vigilant to hop a bandwagon while distracting Iowans from issues that need attention, Chuck Grassley relentlessly flogs another dead horse. We have plenty of laws against such things already. How about legislation restoring the ability of women to sue for equal pay whenever they discover it. How about having financial laws that don’t favor the sleazy lenders. How about ending torture in our names. How about ending a war that has killed 4079 American Soldiers at last count and made 5000000 Iraqis homeless!
Text of this U.S. Senate bill has finally appeared at THOMAS.
