Amendment to Stopping Sexual Violence Act

SENATE BILL

to modify recent legislation regarding criminal activity

Be it enacted,

Section I: Reform

1. SB 119-26 Stopping Sexual Violence Act is hereby modified as follows:

Stopping Sexual Violence Act

1. No defendant in any federal criminal trial concerning a violent crime shall be permitted to raise or offer as a defense that such defendant lacked culpability or mens rea as a result of voluntarily participating in sadomadochistic, dominance and submission, roleplay, or other sexually fetishistic conduct.

2. For purposes of federal criminal sentencing, if any person is convicted of rape, sexual assault, or any attempt or conspiracy to commit rape or sexual assault, and such person uses a bestality device during the commission of such crime, then such person, in addition to any mandatory minimum sentence imposed for rape or sexual assault, shall also be subject to a non-concurrent mandatory minimum sentence equivalent to that imposed for bestiality.

3. For purposes of federal criminal sentencing, if any person is convicted of a crime requiring registration as a sex offender, such person shall be prohibited from owning or possessing any bestiality device. Any such bestiality device discovered in the ownership or possession of a registered sex offender shall be subject to immediate seizure and forfeiture.

4. As used in this Act, bestiality device means any sexually explicit sculpture, toy, or other object that is designed or sculpted to appear as the genitalia or sex organs of a non-human animal, including but not limited to a fictitious, mythical, or anthropomorphized animal. This shall not include any equipment utilized in veterinary science or animal husbandry or breeding.

2 5. This act shall take effect immediately.

Section II: Implementation

1. This act takes effect immediately.
