NY state senator proposes altering child porn bill to include viewing

In response to the recent New York high court ruling (discussed here) that viewing online child pornography is not alone possession, a New York state senator has introduced legislation to modify the state statute. In the senator's press release titled "New York Must Close Loophole That Protects Perverts," he noted:

Senator [Martin] Golden’s legislation seeks to amend the law, that currently makes it a crime to possess an obscene sexual performance by a child, to also include knowingly accessing such material with intent to view.

The bill, available here, modifies the statute to include the language "knowingly accesses with intent to view" under the crime of possessing a sexual performance by a child.
