to Judiciary (H)
Summary
The bill revises Kentucky statutes to broaden the circumstances that constitute third‑degree rape and sodomy, and first‑degree sexual abuse, especially for adults who are significantly older than minors, or who hold positions of authority such as teachers, peace officers, jailers, or foster parents. It also creates new definitions for “adult intermediary” and “deviate sexual intercourse,” and sets the offenses as Class D felonies (with a higher class for victims under 12).
