Justice For Allie Act Targets Online Exploitation

February 27, 2026

The Michigan woman who inspired the state's Justice For Allie law is now at the center of a new push in Washington.

Congresswomen Debbie Dingell and Haley Stevens have introduced a bill they say would close a gap that let online predators slip through the cracks when the victim is a vulnerable adult, and the crime crosses state lines.

Well back in 2023, state law prohibited people from taking advantage of the disabled to make them give up sexually explicit material. The thing is, the law has not gone national, but the Hayes family says it's about time it goes federal.

Now when it comes to that law that's being proposed by Congresswoman Dingell and Stevens, they're hoping they can get it through the House during this session of Congress.
