It also increases from $5,000 to $20,000 the maximum fine for willfully or maliciously engaging in child sexual abuse, engaging in enabling child sex abuse, engaging in child sexual exploitation and engaging in enabling child sexual exploitation. The measure removes language allowing a punishment of death for anyone convicted of forcible anal or oral sodomy, rape, rape by instrumentation or lewd molestation of a child under age 14 subsequent to a previous conviction for the same offense. It states that any person convicted of rape of a child age 6 or younger in conjunction with a conviction for a qualifying felony subsequent to a previous conviction for rape of a child age 6 or under is to be punished by imprisonment with the Department of Corrections for life without parole or by death, except for any parent, guardian or person having custody or control of a child.

It increases from five to 20 years the maximum imprisonment sentence for persons convicted of violating provisions of the Sex Offenders Registration Act. In the Senate, the bill was amended to establishes that any person convicted of rape of a child six years of age or younger subsequent to a previous conviction and term of imprisonment for rape of a child six years of age or younger, and upon a separate finding beyond a reasonable doubt by the jury that the defendant intended to kill the child, shall be punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for life without parole or by death. | ||
