Predator-Free Zone Current Law Prohibits some offenders convicted of lewd and lascivious conduct against a child from living within one-quarter mile (1320 ft.) of a school, for the duration of their parole.

"Sexually Violent Predators (SVP's)" may be civilly committed to a state hospital for a two year term. District Attorneys may file a new petition every two years demonstrating the offender is still a Jessica's Law Allows for an offender to be evaluated as a sexually violent predator after one crime, rather than waiting for a second victim.

Child Pornography Current Law Possession of child pornography is a misdemeanor. Current Law Current law is incomplete in addressing this problem because it waits for direct harm to occur before criminal penalties can be attached. Law enforcement attempts to go undercover to capture internet predators are often disallowed by the courts because of vague statute. Jessica's Law Possession of child pornography is a wobbler (alternate misdemeanor/felony). Possession of child pornography is a felony if the offender has a prior conviction of a sex offense. Internet Luring Jessica's Law Specifically prohibits any contact or communication with a minor for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct or abuse. Specifically allows law enforcement to act as decoys in order to engage and capture internet predators. "Date Rape" Drug Use Current Law Imposes an additional three-year prison term for persons who force the use of specified controlled substances in the commission of a felony. Jessica's Law Imposes an additional five-year prison term for persons who use specified controlled substances (i.e. date rape drugs) in the commission of specified sexual crimes, such as rape. "Good-Time Credits" for Sex Offenders Current Law Allows sex offenders to reduce their prison terms through the use of "good-time credits."

Sexual Predator Punishment Current Law Sexual assault punishment statutes fail to include the full range of crimes committed by sexual predators. Sexual assault punishment statutes fail to provide adequate punishment for many sexual predators. Current Law Expands and strengthens our basic sexual assault punishment statutes, including those for "One Strike" Sex Crimes, "Habitual Sex Offenders," and "Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child." Adds a broad range of forcible sex crimes and child molest crimes to these statutes. Increases the penalty to life imprisonment for kidnapping for the purpose of child molestation and for assault with the intent to commit sex crimes during a residential burglary.

This bill, to be known as the Sexual Predator Punishment and Control Act: Jessica's Law, would add rape committed in concert and committing lewd and lascivious acts to the above specified sexual acts. Under existing law, the punishment for assault with intent to commit any of several specified sexual acts is imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years. This bill would provide that the punishment for assaulting another person with the intent to commit any of several specified sexual acts while in the commission of a first degree burglary is imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole. Under existing law, a person who commits any of several sexual acts upon a child who is under 14 years of age and 10 or more years younger that the person, is guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child. This bill would change the age elements of the crime to 14 years of age and 7 or more years younger than the perpetrator, and would expand the types of sex offenses to which it would apply. The bill would require the court to impose a consecutive sentence for each offense that results in a conviction under this provision. This bill would create a new felony offense for persons who contact or communicate with a minor, as defined, or who attempt to contact or communicate with a minor, or a person they know or reasonably should know is a minor, with the intent to commit any of several specified sex offenses. Under existing law, the court is required to impose a fine of $200 for the first conviction of a person who is convicted of a sex offense for which registration as a sex offender is required, and $300 for a subsequent conviction. This bill would increase those fines to $300 and $500, respectively, and would allocate $100 from each fine to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to defray the costs of global positioning systems used to monitor sex offender parolees. Under existing law, it is a misdemeanor for a person to knowingly possess or control any matter or representation of information, data, or image, as specified, the production of which involves the use of a person under 18 years of age engaging in or simulating sexual conduct. If a person has previously been convicted of that crime, or other crimes related to child pornography, the punishment is imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years. This bill would increase the penalty for the first offense of that crime to a misdemeanor or felony. The bill would expand the types of crimes that would trigger punishment for a subsequent offense. Existing law, which requires amendments to its provisions to be approved by 2/3 of the membership of both houses of the Legislature, defines "violent felony" for purposes of various provisions of the Penal Code. This bill would include in that definition various sex offenses committed against a child who is under 14 years of age and more than 10 years younger than the perpetrator, or committed in concert. Existing law provides for an enhanced prison term of 5 years for a person convicted of committing any of several specified sex offenses who had a prior conviction for any of several other specified sex offenses. The enhanced term for a person with 2 or more previous convictions of any of those sex offense is 10 years. The enhanced term does not apply if that person has not been in custody for, or committed a felony during, at least 10 years between the instant and prior offense. Existing law requires the person to receive credits for time served or work, to reduce his or her sentence. httn' //cOk2,canitoltrack.comlBillSummarv .aso?item=Digest&measure=SB 588 9/8/2005 '"""L, r ""'" Summary Page 2 of3 This bill would expand the types of sex crimes to which these provision apply, delete the 10-year exception, and would eliminate the possibility of the person receiving credit to reduce his or her sentence. Under existing law, persons who are convicted of committing certain sex offense who have previously been convicted of other sex offenses, including habitual sexual offenders, as defined, or who are convicted of certain sex offenses during the commission of another offense, are eligible for credit to reduce the minimum term imposed. This bill would eliminate that eligibility for those persons. Under existing law, the punishment for a conviction of certain sex offenses is 25 years to life if the offense was committed in the course of a kidnapping or burglary, the victim was tortured, or the defendant had previously been convicted of one of these sex crimes. This bill would add continuous sexual abuse of a child to those sex offenses. Under existing law, the court has the authority to order an action dismissed or to strike a prior conviction, for purposes of sentencing a defendant. This bill would prohibit a court from striking an allegation, admission, or finding of a prior conviction for, and would prohibit granting probation to, or suspending the execution or imposition of sentence for, defendants who are convicted of certain sex offenses. Under existing law, a court is prohibited from granting probation to, or suspending the execution or imposition of sentence for any person who, with the intent to inflict the injury, personally inflicts great bodily injury on another person during the commission of any of several crimes. This bill would eliminate the intent requirement of that provision. Under existing law, any finding made that a person is a sexually violent predator, as specified, shall not toll, discharge, or otherwise affect that person's period of parole. This bill would instead provide that the parole period of a person found to be a sexually violent predator shall be tolled until that person is found to no longer be a sexually violent predator, at which time the period of parole shall begin to run. Under existing law, the period of parole for a person convicted of certain sex offenses is 5 years, which period may be extended for an additional 5 years after a hearing by the Board of Parole Hearings. This bill would increase that period of parole to 10 years, would eliminate the possibility of extension of parole, and would authorize that person to be discharged from parole after 6 years, as specified. Existing law requires all persons convicted of specified sex offense to register as a sex offender, as specified. This bill would require every person who has been convicted of a felony that triggers the registration requirement, or an attempt to commit such a felony, who is released on parole, to be monitored by a global positioning system for the term of his or her parole. The bill would require the parolee to pay the cost of the monitoring, except upon a finding of the inability to pay. The bill would further require all of those persons to continue being monitored by a global positioning system, once discharged from parole, for the rest of their lives. Existing law prohibits a person who was convicted of certain sex offenses with children from being placed or residing within 1/4 mile of any public or private school during the period of parole. This bill would eliminate that prohibition and instead provide that it is unlawful for any person who is required to register as a sex offender to reside within 2000 feet or any public or private school, or any park where children regularly gather. Existing law provides""for an enhanced penalty of 3 years for any person who administers a controlled substance to another person against his or her will, for the purpose of committing a felony. This bill would create an additional enhancement of 5 years if that felony is any of several specified sex offenses.

This bill would expand that definition to include certain prior convictions, and would expand the definition of "sexually violent offense" for those purposes. Under existing law, if the victim of certain specified sex offenses is a child under 14 years of age and the offending act involved substantial sexual conduct, the offense is considered a "sexually violent offense" for purposes of enhanced punishment. This bill would eliminate the element of substantial sexual conduct from that definition. Under existing law, if a person is determined to be a sexually violent predator, he or she is committed to the State Department of Mental Health for 2 years for appropriate treatment and confinement. Confinement may not be extended except by court order. This bill would change that commitment to an indeterminate term, and would require an annual report to be made about the appropriateness of conditionally releasing the person to a less restrictive environment. Because this bill would expand the scope of certain crimes, increase the penalties for certain crime, and create a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
