This bill amends various sections of Alaska's criminal code to enhance protections for minors and victims of sexual abuse by raising the age of a minor from 16 to 18 in multiple offenses, including sexual abuse, stalking, and indecent exposure. Victims of sexual abuse who were under 18 can now pursue civil claims against their perpetrators. The bill also introduces stricter penalties for offenses involving minors, such as enticement and distribution of indecent material, and clarifies definitions related to sexual offenses, establishing that indecent exposure is a class B felony if it occurs in the presence of a minor under 18. Additionally, it closes loopholes by stating that it is not a defense for offenders to claim that the victim was not actually under 18 years of age.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the registration and monitoring requirements for sex offenders and child kidnappers, mandating lifetime registration for those convicted of aggravated sex offenses or multiple sex offenses. It updates the definition of a "sex offense" to include specific crimes and clarifies that individuals convicted of indecent exposure to a minor under 18 more than twice are considered to have multiple sex offenses. The bill also repeals certain existing statutes related to sex offenses and establishes that registration requirements may end 15 years after an offender's unconditional discharge from a non-aggravated sex offense or child kidnapping, provided they meet specific conditions. Overall, these amendments aim to strengthen legal protections for minors and enhance accountability for offenders.
