AI Summary

  • Increases punishment for rape, sodomy, oral copulation, and sexual penetration against persons with mental disorders or developmental/physical disabilities from 3-6-8 years to 9-11-13 years (or 8-10-12 years for oral copulation/sexual penetration) when committed with force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of bodily injury and the perpetrator knows or reasonably should know of the disability.

  • Enhances penalties to 10-12-14 years for rape, sodomy, oral copulation, and sexual penetration committed in concert (with another person) against victims with mental disorders or developmental/physical disabilities when accompanied by force or fear of bodily injury and the perpetrator knows or reasonably should know of the disability.

  • Maintains existing 3-6-8 year punishment for non-forcible sexual offenses against persons with disabilities who cannot give legal consent, without requiring force, violence, duress, menace, or fear.

  • Removes provisions creating new "continuous sexual abuse of a disabled person" offense and related enhancements to Penal Code Section 667.61 (Jessica's Law sentencing provisions).

  • Specifies no state reimbursement is required as the amendments change penalties for existing crimes rather than creating entirely new offenses triggering local program costs.
