Bill Summary
Relative to the age of consent in certain criminal prosecutions and civil actions for sexual assault and rape of a child. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts state law to expand the definition of sexual abuse and consent for certain individuals. It creates new criminal and civil penalties for employees or contractors of public or private schools, youth services, social services departments, and higher education institutions who engage in sexual acts with individuals under their care who are under the age of 19 or 22 (if the individual has not received a high school diploma or equivalent). The bill deems these individuals incapable of consenting to sexual relations with their caregivers or educators, and establishes prison sentences and fines for those who violate these provisions.
