Republican Texas State Senator Bob Hall plans to introduce a bill that prosecutes Netflix for hosting “Cuties,” a French film widely regarded as over-sexualizing children.
The bill would recognize the film as pedophilia and thus criminalize it, a statement from Hall to The Daily Caller said.
Thank you @repmattschaefer! Next session I will file a bill to make pedophilia a crime in our Texas state constitution. We MUST never normalize this kind of wickedness in our Texas. #txlege https://t.co/iICPCsZZlX

“Current Texas law is crystal clear on pedophilia being a crime,” Hall said. “However, we must ensure that movies like ‘Cuties’ are recognized as such if our Attorney General, Ken Paxton, says current law is not sufficient to prosecute perpetrators like Netflix. If Ken is able to take action we still need to look at ways to permanently solidify the criminalization, as opposed to the normalization of pedophilia.”
Hall said he wants to send a clear message to Netflix and Hollywood: “We Texans won’t tolerate their perverted filth in our state.”
