Bill > H3065

This bill amends Massachusetts laws related to indecent assault and battery on minors under the age of 14. It provides that a minor under 15 is deemed incapable of consenting to such conduct, unless the defendant is no more than 3 years older (or 2 years older if the minor is under 12). The bill also amends the law on sexual intercourse with a minor under 16, providing different age thresholds for penalties based on the age difference between the defendant and the minor. Additionally, the bill repeals a section of the law prohibiting the enticing of a child under 16 for sexual intercourse.
