The bill amends sections of the General Laws related to sexual assault, specifically increasing the minimum sentences for first degree sexual assault and first degree child molestation sexual assault. For first degree sexual assault, the minimum imprisonment period is raised from ten years to fifteen years, with the stipulation that the first ten years must be served without the possibility of sentence suspension or deferment. For first degree child molestation sexual assault, the minimum sentence is set at twenty-five years, also requiring that the first ten years be served without the option for suspension or deferment. This legislation will take effect upon passage and will apply to all offenses committed after the effective date.
