She sought to expand Kentucky’s statutory rape criminal statutes, which had previously excluded sexual assault victims ages 16-17. In 2017-2018, she worked with legislators to amend Kentucky’s criminal sex offenses to include protections for older teenage victims. Jenna is a licensed attorney in Florida and Kentucky.
