Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 6 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to sexual offenses, so as to modify the penalty for offenders previously convicted of the offense of trafficking of persons for labor or sexual servitude; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the penalties for certain sexual offenses in Georgia, specifically by changing the term "imprisonment" to "confinement" in existing laws and introducing a new provision that increases the penalty for individuals convicted of violating Code Section 16-6-11 (which deals with certain sexual offenses) if they have a prior conviction for the offense of trafficking of persons for labor or sexual servitude, as defined in Code Section 16-5-46. This prior conviction for trafficking, which involves exploiting individuals for labor or sexual services, will now result in the offender being guilty of a felony and facing a prison sentence of one to ten years, regardless of whether the current violation is a first or subsequent offense.
