Sexual Predator Sentencing Act

The Sexual Predator Sentencing Act (H.R. 2942) proposes significant increases to federal criminal penalties for various forms of sexual misconduct, including aggravated sexual abuse and crimes against minors. The bill would establish strict mandatory minimum prison sentences for these offenses and require life imprisonment for repeat offenders unless the death penalty is applied. Additionally, the legislation would increase penalties for human trafficking related to prostitution and mandate that sentences for multiple sex offenses be served consecutively rather than at the same time.
