Bill Summary

AN ACT AMENDING SECTION 13-1428, ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES; RELATING TO SEXUAL OFFENSES.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law regarding sexual extortion, a crime where someone knowingly makes a threat to force another person into sexual contact, to allow them to be photographed in a sexual manner, or to expose themselves. Specifically, the bill increases the penalty for sexual extortion to a more serious Class 2 felony if the perpetrator is 18 or older and knows or should have known the victim is between 15 and 17 years old; this enhanced penalty also mandates that the sentence for this crime must be served consecutively, meaning one after the other, with any other sentences imposed, and restricts eligibility for early release or probation.
