Oklahoma has a number of laws to protect children from inappropriate sexual conduct and exploitation. One of those laws forbids making a lewd or indecent proposal to a minor in Oklahoma. Here is what you need to know about the law and how it is handled in Tahlequah.
This law is considered to be a catch-all statute, meaning that it covers a lot of ground that other laws regarding rape and child sexual abuse might miss. It also allows a prosecutor a great deal of leeway when charging and prosecuting crimes of child sexual abuse. Making lewd or indecent proposals to a child also includes engaging in sexual acts with a child. The crime is a felony in Tahlequah.
Oklahoma law defines the crime as knowingly and intentionally engaging in any sort of lewd or indecent act with a child or making any sort of oral, written, or electronic or computer-generated lewd or indecent proposal to a child under the age of 16 or who is believed to be under the age of 16. In essence, the law prohibits both sexual communications and acts. Okla. Stat. tit. 21 Â 1123

Dispatches say that the president and his people have put together a budget that "reduces future budget deficits." But make sure you see that word "future." The president's people say this never-never budget proposal would decrease future deficits by $3 trillion.
We turn to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget for clarification. You can guess what that outfit studies. According to its analysis of this proposal, "Debt would hit a new record by 2027, rising from 98 percent of GDP at the end of 2023 to 106 percent by 2027 and 110 percent by 2033. Nominal debt would grow by $19 trillion, from $24.6 trillion today to $43.6 trillion by 2033."
"The president deserves credit for putting forward $3 trillion of deficit reduction, which could be an achievable near-term bipartisan goal in upcoming negotiations. However, deficit reduction will ultimately need to be nearly three times that large, and it is disappointing the budget has put forward so many costly proposals without first putting the nation's fiscal house in order."
