AUSTIN — State Representative Chris Paddie of Marshall has filed a bill to increase punishments for felony convictions for the possession or promotion of child pornography. House Bill 1123 would elevate penalties for the possession of child porn. Paddie says, “It’s about strengthening protections for our children. We need to empower law enforcement to fight these heinous crimes, and we need to enhance judicial tools for prosecuting these predators.” Higher-degree felony convictions often result in longer sentences.
