A bill requiring jail time for those who create fake, pornographic images of minors has cleared a Louisiana House committee and is now headed to the full House for a vote. The bill was authored by State Rep. Bryan Fontenot and stems from an incident involving a 13-year-old student whose image was posted on a nude body by another student and shown around campus.

If it clears the Full House and Senate, it will be called the Ivy Daniels Act, named after the victim.
