Bill Summary
For legislation relative to sexual assaults by adults in positions of authority or trust. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen the laws against sexual assaults by adults in positions of authority or trust over children. It creates a new section, Section 13B1/4, which expands the definition of "position of trust, authority or supervision over a child" to include various roles such as teachers, coaches, tutors, and other individuals who have regular direct contact with children. The bill increases the penalties for indecent assault and battery and unlawful sexual intercourse committed by individuals in these positions of trust, with longer prison sentences and restrictions on probation, parole, and early release. The bill also amends sections 13B1/2 and 23A of Chapter 265 and adds references to the new sections in the statute of limitations for these crimes.
