Much tougher sentences for child sex crimes
The law sets felony penalties for child abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and exploitation. A conviction can mean prison up to life or county jail up to 1 year, and fines of $500 to $5,000. Sexual abuse or exploitation of a child under 12 carries at least 25 years in prison, up to life, plus the fine. Lewd or indecent acts with a child under 16 carry 3 to 20 years. If the child is under 12 and the offender is 3 or more years older (unless force or fear was used), punishment can be death, life without parole, life, or at least 10 years. For forcible anal or oral sodomy, rape (including by instrumentation), or certain lewd acts against a child under 14, death or life without parole can apply. A second conviction blocks probation, suspended, or deferred sentences; a third can bring life or life without parole.
Consent is not a defense with minors
Consent is not a defense for the child-protection crimes listed in the law. Prosecutors can pursue these cases even if a defendant claims the child agreed.
Mandatory supervision after prison for offenders
If a sentence is two years or more, the person must serve post‑prison supervision. This does not apply to life or life‑without‑parole sentences. The jury is told this supervision is on top of prison time. The Department of Corrections sets and runs the supervision.
Stronger child protections and clear lewd acts
The law protects every child under 18, even if other laws use different ages. It clearly lists what counts as a lewd act for sexual gratification. This includes lewd proposals to a child, touching private parts, luring a child to a secluded place, urinating or defecating on a child, ejaculating near a child, forcing a child to view sexual acts or obscene images, or making a child touch private parts.
