The father of Nick Sandmann, the 16-year-old Covington Catholic student caught up in a social media firestorm following a January incident in Washington, is lending his support to anti-doxing legislation being considered in Kentucky.

Nicholas Sandmann's father, Ted, and the family's attorney Todd V. McMurtry will be in Frankfort Wednesday to testify in support of Senate Bill 240, according to the sponsor of the bill Wil Schroder.

The bill seeks to make it a felony criminal offense reveal personally identifying information about a minor on the internet.

Schroder, a state senator and a lawyer from Campbell County, has announced his intention to run for Kentucky attorney general.

Schroder said changes to the bill are possible in committee but the bill "bill will make it a crime when you identify a minor online with the intent to intimidate, abuse, threaten, harass, or frighten him or her."

The Covington Catholic High School junior is also represented by a nationally recognized attorney, L. Lin Wood, who has experience in defamation lawsuits.
