Show full summary
  • Families and child survivors would see federal law target perpetrators with much stiffer punishments for exploitation, trafficking, sexual abuse, and child pornography.
  • People accused or convicted of the covered offenses would face exposure to death or life sentences instead of prior prison terms, and some prior minimums like 10-year or 30-year floors would be converted to life or death options.
  • Federal prosecutions and sentencing would change across many Title 18 provisions. The bill covers female genital mutilation, civil-rights sexual offenses, sex trafficking, sexual abuse of minors, and child pornography, and it extends harsher penalties to attempts and conspiracies.

Harsher penalties for sexual crimes

If enacted, this bill would raise federal penalties for many sexual and child-exploitation crimes. It would amend multiple Title 18 offenses, including female genital mutilation, sex trafficking, sexual abuse of minors, and child pornography offenses. The changes would authorize life imprisonment or the death penalty where current law now has lower maximums or set minimums (for example replacing 10-, 15-, or 30-year limits or inserting life/death options while keeping some minimum terms). These penalty changes would take effect upon enactment.
