Alicia's Law: Protecting Virginia's Children

MAY 22ND, 2008

This week, Brian traveled to Bedford and Manassas to announce the impact of Alicia's Law, a Moran initiative that doubles the capacity of state law enforcement to catch online child sexual predators. The new resources in Alicia's Law mean more training, more officers, and new technology in the fight to protect Virginia's children. Brian was joined by Alicia Kozakiewicz, Sherriff Mike Brown of Bedford, Captain Tim Evans of Fairfax, TV Star Erik Estrada and police from across the Commonwealth to celebrate this victory.

Alicia Kozakiewicz was abducted by a Virginia man, abused, and held in his basement for days. Now she's a strong voice for children and victims, and fought hard for the passage of the law that bears her name with Brian.

Law enforcement has identified over 20,000 computers in Virginia with child pornography on them.

"Delegate Brian Moran has moved the fight against the Internet sexual predators into overdrive with the passage of Alicia's Law," said Bedford Sheriff Mike Brown. "His tenacious pursuit of this funding project sets the standard for future efforts in protecting our children from the sexual predators that use the Internet for their unconscionable acts."

"Alicia's Law is a victory for human rights," said Grier Weeks with the National Association to Protect Children. "It is the boldest state effort yet to fight back against the evil of child exploitation."
