AI Summary

This bill establishes a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for certain child sexual abuse crimes, such as sexual assault and criminal sexual contact involving minors. The bill amends existing law to allow the court to order pretrial detention of an eligible defendant charged with these specified crimes if the prosecutor files a motion and the court finds probable cause that the defendant committed the crime. The defendant can try to rebut this presumption, but if unsuccessful, the court may order the defendant's pretrial detention.
