Dating partners now count as related
The law changes the meaning of “affinity” in criminal law. For Chapters 8, 25, and 30 of Title 9, dating is treated like marriage for affinity. A person is now related by affinity to their dating partner’s blood relatives. This lets more cases meet relationship-based rules in these crimes.
Stronger sex-crime charges for ages 14–15
The law expands what counts as first- or second-degree criminal sexual conduct when the victim is at least 14 but under 16. Charges elevate when the actor is a household member, or related by blood or affinity to the fourth degree. It applies when an authority figure used power to make the child submit. It covers teachers, school staff, contractors, or volunteers tied to the child’s school who used their role to reach the child. It also covers workers or volunteers in child care, foster care, social services, youth detention, drug treatment, or medical or mental health facilities when the child lived there. It also covers an actor who is dating a member of the child’s household.
