HCS SCS SB 36 & 112 -- FORCIBLE SEXUAL OFFENSES AGAINST CHILDREN

Currently, the penalty for the crime of forcible rape or sodomy
of a child younger than 12 years of age is a term of imprisonment
with no eligibility for probation or parole until the offender
has served at least 30 years.  This bill specifies that when the
offense was outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible, or inhuman,
in that it involved torture or depravity of mind, the penalty
will be life imprisonment without eligibility for probation,
parole, or conditional release.
