Bill Summary
Relative to kidnapping as a sexual offense. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Massachusetts law to include kidnapping with a sexual element as a sex offense. Specifically, it removes references to "kidnapping of a child under section 26 of chapter 265" from the definition of sex offenders, and adds a provision that a person convicted of kidnapping under section 26 of chapter 265 that included a sexual element must register as a sex offender. This change ensures that individuals convicted of kidnapping crimes with a sexual component are subject to the same registration and reporting requirements as other sex offenders in the state.
