MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — At the Capitol, lawmakers are proposing a bill to criminalize possession of child sex dolls in Wisconsin.
Senator Jesse James of Altoona is the author.
“I have a hard time believing that someone who possesses this kind of doll would not also be acting out their desire in a way that involved a real child,” said James. “In my conversations with child crimes investigators regarding this legislation, they confirm that these dolls have always been confiscated alongside child pornography, or in conjunction with a crime against a real child.”
The bill stipulates that those caught possessing such a doll would be guilty of a felony and up to 3.5 years in prison for a first offense. However, if the doll resembles a specific child, a conviction on first offense would mean up to 15 years in prison.
Several states have similar laws banning the dolls.
