Bill > S908

This bill proposes to create a new section in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 265, to address individuals convicted of multiple sexual offenses. Specifically, it states that anyone convicted three or more times for certain listed sexual offenses, or similar offenses in other jurisdictions, will be sentenced to life imprisonment. This life sentence cannot be reduced or suspended, and the individual will not be eligible for probation, parole, work release, furlough, or good conduct sentence deductions. The bill also outlines that evidence of prior adjudications or convictions, presented as certified copies of court documents or probation records, will be considered prima facie evidence of those prior convictions and will be admissible in court without additional corroborating evidence or witness testimony, after the prosecution establishes guilt for the primary offense.
