Equal Penalties for Child Exploitation: Military Convictions Included
This act aims to standardize how prior convictions for child exploitation offenses are treated. It means that convictions from military courts will carry the same weight as federal and state convictions when sentencing repeat offenders. The goal is to ensure that individuals committing such crimes face consistent consequences regardless of where they were convicted.
Key points
Previous military court convictions for child exploitation will now be treated the same as civilian court (federal and state) convictions when sentencing.
This change aims to ensure that repeat offenders in child exploitation cases are punished uniformly, regardless of the location of their prior conviction.
The act increases consistency in the justice system by closing loopholes regarding prior military convictions.
