<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> signed several pieces of legislation into law this week aimed at protecting children from sex predators and enhancing penalties for other sexual crimes.</p>
<p>“In Florida, we let kids be kids, and we protect children from those who seek to harm them,” DeSantis said at a press conference. “Today’s anti-grooming legislation punishes those who seek to prey on children and rob them of their innocence. Florida will continue to be the best state in the country to raise a family.”</p>
<p>DeSantis&#8217; office highlighted the five bills signed into law, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>HB 1545, which protects children from grooming activities and other sexual offenses.</li>
<li>HB 1131, which establishes a grant program within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to create online sting operations to target sexual predators.</li>
<li>HB 1235, which creates stricter guidelines for sex offender registration.</li>
<li>SB 1224, which strengthens the role of the Statewide Guardian ad Litem Office and implements new training requirements to ensure law enforcement properly assesses a domestic violence situation.</li>
<li>HB 305, which expands the evidence that can be presented to a jury in sex-abuse cases where the victim is a minor and increases penalties on those who take part in sex trafficking of minors.</li>
</ul>

<p>Regarding the laws that specifically target sexual offenses involving children, HB 1545 bans communication between an adult and a minor where a pattern is established that includes &#8220;explicit and detailed verbal descriptions of sexual activity.&#8221;</p>
<p>The law increases penalties for this type of child exploitation crime by making the crime a third degree felony.</p>
<p>HB 305 allows &#8220;a hearsay statement made by a minor, regardless of age, to be admitted as evidence,&#8221; the governor&#8217;s office said.</p>
