The singer, who opened for Alicia Keys at the arena, started the night with an intimate dinner at Abe & Arthur’s with his dad Alan and pals, before continuing on to 1Oak for cake, drinks and music by DJ Sinatra.
I found out via Chicago Times that distribution of nude photos over the internet or cell phone is punishable in Illinois now! Keep reading below for more detail. Do you agree with this new law?
SPRINGFIELD — Students under 18 who use computers or cell phones to share nude photos of their peers would earn little more than a scolding under a measure the Illinois Senate approved Thursday to address the “sexting” phenomenon.
Offenders would not face criminal charges, but would get juvenile court supervision that could result in counseling or community service. The bill doesn’t address youths who send or receive racy photos if they don’t distribute them.
“We’re not trying to prosecute them if they keep it between themselves,” said Rep. Darlene Senger, R-Naperville, who got a similar bill through the Illinois House last week. “It’s when the third party is involved. That’s when you get the situations where so-and-so committed suicide because the picture got up everywhere.”
“It’s an intervention,” Silverstein said. “Sometimes these kids don’t understand what they’re doing, make a mistake, and it follows them for life. So we don’t want that in their record.”
