In Kansas, Federal Trial Begins Concerning Teen Sexual Privacy

A federal judge in Wichita began hearing testimony this morning in a case that pits teenagers' sexual privacy against the state's ability to investigate abuse. A coalition of health care workers is suing to challenge an opinion by the Kansas attorney general that they are required to report all adolescent sexual activity to state child protection services.
