This legislative proposal aims to significantly increase the penalties for certain child sexual abuse offenses by authorizing the death penalty. It specifically amends Title 18 of the United States Code, modifying sections pertaining to aggravated sexual abuse , sexual abuse of a minor , and abusive sexual contact . For these crimes, the bill replaces existing sentencing guidelines with the option of punishment by death or imprisonment for any term of years or life, alongside a fine. Furthermore, the bill expands the list of offenses under federal law for which a sentence of death can be imposed to include these specific crimes when committed against a child. It also extends this authorization to the military justice system, allowing for the death penalty for the offense of rape of a child under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. A severability clause is included to ensure that if any provision of the Act is found unconstitutional, the remaining parts will remain in effect.
