The first offence inserted by the bill is digital communication for a person under 16 with intent to mislead, and it means that someone who is 18 years or older or who digitally communicates with someone who is under 16 with the intent to mislead them about their age or identity and then meets or arranges to meet with this young person, can now be imprisoned. Existing law provides that there is a requirement for sexual reference in communication, as previously mentioned, and this has made prosecution difficult in the past. This change sends a clear message that an adult impersonating a child with the intention of meeting someone is unacceptable in New Zealand.
