BILL NUMBER:S3755

Title of bill

An act to amend the penal law and the criminal procedure law, in relation to promoting sexual performances by a child

Purpose

Elevates promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child and promoting a sexual performance by a child to be class B felonies.

Summary of provisions

Section one amends the closing paragraph of section 263.10 of the penal law and Section two amends the closing paragraph of section 263.15 of the penal law to increase the penalty of promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child from a class D felony to a class B felony.

Section three requires that a plea of guilty allows for no plea bargain for such offense.

Justification

This bill makes it a class B felony for promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child and promoting a sexual performance by a child. Sex offenses against children are intolerable acts that society should not put up with. This measure would also require those who plead guilty cannot plea down to a lesser offense. This bill will keep these classes of criminals out of our neighborhoods so they cannot harm society's innocent children.
