flag Wyoming makes online and in-person sexual grooming of minors a felony with up to 5 years in prison.

flag Wyoming’s legislature has passed House Bill 9, making the sexual grooming of minors a felony, with penalties up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. flag The law targets manipulative behaviors—online or in-person—intended to build emotional connections for sexual exploitation, even without physical contact. flag It enables early intervention by allowing prosecution based on patterns of behavior, closing gaps in the sex offender registry, and requiring treatment and registration. flag The bill awaits Governor Mark Gordon’s signature. flag Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s Senate Bill 1540, which would classify grooming as a felony with up to 10 years in prison, has advanced to the Senate floor for consideration.
