Bill Summary
This bill provides that persons who have been convicted of a sex offense under Megan's Law, where the victim of the offense was under 18 years of age and the person used the Internet in the commission of the sex offense, would be monitored for life under the "Sex Offender Monitoring Act." Under the act, sex offenders are subject to continuous 24-hour per day monitoring by global positioning system (GPS) devices. The bill also adds as an aggravating factor for the court to consider in determining a sentence, whether the defendant used the Internet in committing a sex offense against a person under the age of 18. This provision would be used to enhance penalties against child predators. Under this "One Strike, You're Ours" approach, predators who use the Internet in committing crimes against children would receive enhanced penalties and, once they leave prison, be monitored for life by GPS technology.
