This amendment narrows the age range of victims protected under the grooming offense by specifying that the enhanced penalty for grooming victims under twelve years of age applies only to victims older than twelve years of age.

• Modifies the enhanced penalty provision in subsection (e) to apply only to victims who are older than twelve (12) years of age but younger than the general threshold, creating a narrower protected age category for the twenty-five year minimum sentence. (Page 6, line 3)
