Bill Summary

Crime of sexual torture; criminal elements revised

AI Summary

This bill revises the definition of the crime of sexual torture in Alabama law, specifically amending Section 13A-6-65.1 of the Code of Alabama 1975. The changes expand the acts that constitute sexual torture to include penetration of the "penile opening" (the external opening of the penis) or touching the breast or scrotum with an inanimate object, in addition to existing provisions. It also clarifies that the age of the perpetrator and victim in certain scenarios is now specified as "of age" rather than just "old," and the bill will take effect on October 1, 2026.
