The act revises the federal kidnapping statute to include cases where a minor is obtained by fraud or deception , thereby broadening the scope of the offense. It also removes the defense that a victim under 16 consented, unless the offender can prove a reasonable belief that the victim was at least 16 years old. Additionally, the bill replaces the phrase crosses a state line with travels in interstate or foreign commerce to clarify jurisdictional reach. A new provision makes it unlawful to intentionally touch a minor’s genitalia in federal maritime, territorial, or prison settings, with penalties that can include fines and imprisonment. The language also establishes that attempts to commit such offenses carry the same penalties as completed acts. The amendment to section 2241(c) applies retroactively to conduct occurring before or after enactment. The bill amends civil rights provisions to broaden the definition of abusive sexual contact and to include attempts to engage in such conduct, thereby tightening enforcement of related offenses. Sentencing guidelines are updated to reference specific subparagraphs of section 2244, ensuring consistent classification of these crimes. Overall, the legislation strengthens federal tools to prosecute kidnapping, sexual abuse, and illicit sexual conduct involving minors, expanding jurisdiction, clarifying intent, and enhancing penalties.
