Making Sex with "Clergy" a Felony?

 

By now, everyone is familiar with the Alabama law against any school employee engaging in any kind of sex with a student under the age of 19. Goodness knows we've had several in this area, from school nurses to substitute instructors. 

Now that law may be extended to "clergy." HB 125 states:

This bill would provide that it is unlawful for a minister, priest, rabbi, bishop, or other recognized member of the clergy in a position of trust or authority over a person to commit certain sex acts with an individual under 19 years of age, or a protected person under 22 years of age.

We would like to say that clergy shouldn't be doing that in the first place, but considering some of the arrests we've seen in the past few years, it's rather pointless. So, Brother Jimbo, watch where you put your hands when you attempt to cast out demons from that luscious 18 year-old blonde babe. Our legislature will be watching.
