This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure in Louisiana to eliminate the time limitation for prosecuting the crime of molestation of a juvenile or a person with a physical or mental disability. Specifically, it adds these offenses to the list of crimes for which there is no time limitation on prosecution, alongside other serious crimes such as those punishable by death or life imprisonment, and forcible or second-degree rape.
Additionally, the bill removes the previous inclusion of molestation of a juvenile or a person with a physical or mental disability from the list of sex offenses that had a thirty-year time limitation for prosecution. This change emphasizes the state's commitment to ensuring that victims of such crimes can seek justice without the constraints of a time limit.
