TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A Florida bill, intended to prohibit the release of sexual offenders on bail while they await sentencing, was filed Tuesday.
“Missy’s Law,” filed by Representative Sam Greco, is named after 5-year-old Missy Mogle, who was found unresponsive at a southeast Tallahassee home in May.
Since then, her mom, Chloe Spencer, and stepdad, Daniel Spencer, were both arrested after being accused of cruelly neglecting and abusing the young girl.

The legislation wrote that it would be “requiring a court to remand a person found guilty of a dangerous crime to custody immediately” and that person would have to remain in custody while awaiting sentencing or further proceedings without the possibility of being released on bond.
Dangerous crimes include arson, child abuse, elderly abuse, murder and sexual battery.
