A bill would make "sexting" a minor unlawful.

State Sen. Jerry Tillman, a Randolph County Republican, has filed a bill that would add cell phones and other electronic devices to the list of ways it is illegal to solicit a child under the age of 16.

Under current law, it is only illegal to solicit a child using a computer.

Tillman said he became concerned that the legislation did not cover things such as sending a minor a text message, a trend that has been called "sexting" by some journalists.

"The technology is ahead of our legislation," he said.
