LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 922, as amended, Knight. Sex offenses: disabled victims.
Under
(1) Under existing law, a person
who commits rape rape, or an act of sodomy,
oral copulation, or sexual penetration, against a person
incapable, because of a mental disorder or developmental or physical
disability, of giving legal consent, where that fact is known or
reasonably should be known by the person committing the act, shall be
punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 3, 6, or 8 years.
Under existing law, a person who commits that crime
voluntarily acting in concert with another person, by force or
violence and against the will of the victim, shall be punished by
imprisonment in the state prison for 5, 7, or 9 years.
This bill would instead make these crimes punishable by
imprisonment in the state prison for 9, 11, or 13 years ,
and 10, 12, or 14 years, respectively .
(2) Under existing law, a defendant who, voluntarily acting in
concert with another person, by force or by violence and against the
will of the victim, commits an act of rape, spousal rape, or sexual
penetration, either personally or by aiding and abetting the other
person, is guilty of a crime punishable by imprisonment in the state
prison for 5, 7, or 9 years.
This bill would make it a crime punishable by imprisonment in the
state prison for 10, 12, or 14 years to commit an act of rape,
spousal rape, or sexual penetration in concert with another person,
by force or by violence and against the will of the victim, either
personally or by aiding and abetting the other person, against a
person who is incapable, because of a mental disorder or
developmental or physical disability, of giving legal consent. By
creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
(3) Under existing law, any person who resides in the same home
with a minor child or has recurring access to the child, who over a
period of time, not less than 3 months in duration, engages in 3 or
more acts of substantial sexual conduct with a child under the age of
14 years, is guilty of the offense of continuous sexual abuse of a
child, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of
6, 12, or 16 years.
This bill would make any person who resides in the same home with
a disabled person or has recurring access to the disabled person, who
over a period of time, not less than 3 months in duration, engages
in 3 or more acts of substantial sexual conduct with the disabled
person, guilty of the crime of continuous sexual abuse of a disabled
person, and would make that crime punishable by imprisonment in the
state prison for a term of 6, 12, or 16 years. By creating a new
crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(4) Existing law, as amended by Proposition 83, the Sexual
Predator Punishment and Control Act (Jessica's Law), approved by the
voters at the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, provides
that a defendant shall be punished by imprisonment in the state
prison for 25 years to life if convicted of rape, sexual penetration,
sodomy, oral copulation, continuous sexual abuse of a child, or
rape, spousal rape, or sexual penetration in concert, and if, among
other things, in the commission of that offense, any person kidnapped
the victim, tortured the victim, or committed the offense during the
commission of a burglary, as specified. Existing law further
provides that a defendant shall be punished by imprisonment in the
state prison for 15 years to life if convicted of rape, sexual
penetration, sodomy, oral copulation, continuous sexual abuse of a
child, or rape, spousal rape, or sexual penetration in concert, and
if, among other things, in the commission of that offense any person,
except as specified in the provisions above, kidnapped the victim,
committed the offense during the commission of a burglary, or used a
dangerous or deadly weapon in the commission of the offense, or under
other specified circumstances. Proposition 83 provides that the
Legislature may amend the provisions of the act to expand the scope
of their application or increase the punishment or penalties by a
statute passed by a majority vote of each house.
This bill would add the crimes of rape, sexual penetration,
sodomy, and oral copulation, perpetrated against a person who is
incapable, because of a mental disorder or developmental or physical
disability, of giving legal consent, to the above provisions. The
bill would also add continuous sexual abuse of a disabled person to
the above provisions. The bill would apply the above provisions to
rape, spousal rape, or sexual penetration in concert, perpetrated
against a person who is incapable, because of a mental disorder or
developmental or physical disability, of giving legal consent. By
applying the above enhancements to these crimes, this bill would
impose a state-mandated local program.
(5) Existing law provides that a defendant shall be punished by
imprisonment in the state prison for 25 years to life if convicted of
rape, spousal rape or sexual penetration in concert, sexual
penetration, sodomy, or oral copulation if, among other things, in
the commission of that offense any person, kidnapped the victim,
committed the offense during the commission of a burglary, or used a
dangerous or deadly weapon in the commission of the offense, or under
other specified circumstances, and the crime was committed against a
minor 14 years of age or older.
This bill would add the crimes of rape, sexual penetration,
sodomy, and oral copulation, perpetrated against a person who is
incapable, because of a mental disorder or developmental or physical
disability, of giving legal consent, to the above provisions. Under
the bill, the above provisions would also apply to rape, spousal
rape, or sexual penetration in concert, perpetrated against a person
who is incapable, because of a mental disorder or developmental or
physical disability, of giving legal consent. By applying the above
enhancements to these crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program. The bill would also add the crime of continuous
sexual abuse of a disabled person to the above provisions.
(6) 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.
