This Act codifies the principle set forth in Doe v. Bicking, 2020 Del. Super. LEXIS 43, *32, 2020 WL 374677 (Del. Super. Jan. 22, 2020) that recognizes that in cases of childhood sexual abuse by an employee of a school, organization, or business that serves or cares for children, the perpetrator often has authority and power over the child victim, which can be enabled by the perpetrators position in that institution.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Offenses Relating To Children. [HB-428]

This bill seeks to remedy this problem by adding partial nudity to the definition of prohibited sexual act. By doing so, this bill criminalizes the photographing or filming of a partially nude child as well as the production, publication, transmission, selling, distribution, and dissemination of photographs
