Bill to increase cyber-harassment punishments heads to NJ Senate
A bill that would make cyber harassment a criminal offense punishable by prison and fines heads to the full state Senate for a vote.
The Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee unanimously released the bill Thursday.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Donald Norcross, D-Camden, Sen. Nicholas Sacco, D-North Bergen and co-sponsored by Sen. Bob Gordon, D-Paramus, and Sen. Anthony Bucco, R-Morris, closes a loophole in state law that prevents the criminal prosecution of online harassment of minors by adults and other juveniles. (Hayes/The Record)
