Justice for Rape Survivors Act

The Justice for Rape Survivors Act proposes to implement mandatory minimum sentences for individuals convicted of federal sexual abuse offenses. It specifically targets sections 2241 and 2242 of title 18, United States Code, which define aggravated sexual abuse and sexual abuse, respectively. Under the bill's provisions, the sentencing for these crimes would be changed from "any term of years or life" imprisonment to a mandatory minimum of not less than 30 years or for life . This legislative action is intended to impose more severe and consistent penalties for these serious offenses, ensuring a baseline level of punishment for perpetrators.
