Relating to crime of sexual abuse by parent, guardian, custodian, or person in position of trust to child

Summary

The legislation amends several criminal statutes to increase jail time and fines for sexual assault, sexual abuse, and child neglect resulting in death. It also creates a distinct offense for any parent, guardian, custodian, or other person in a position of trust who sexually exploits a child, or who induces another person to do so, and adds penalties for distributing child sexual‑exploitation material. The changes apply to minors under 16, disabled children of any age, and children 16 or older in certain circumstances.
