Bill > S02092

This bill amends New York state law to significantly increase penalties for predatory sexual assault against a child. Specifically, the bill modifies sentencing guidelines for individuals convicted of this specific class A-II felony, mandating a minimum prison sentence of 25 years and allowing for a maximum term of life imprisonment. Additionally, the bill introduces a lifetime parole supervision requirement for offenders convicted of predatory sexual assault against a child, meaning that after serving their initial prison sentence, these individuals will remain under the supervision of the state parole board for the rest of their lives. These changes represent a substantial toughening of legal consequences for individuals who commit sexual crimes against children, with the goal of providing enhanced protection for young victims and ensuring long-term monitoring of offenders. The bill will take effect on the first of November following its passage into law.
