What’s in it
This bill relates to continuous sexual abuse of a child and makes penalties applicable.4 (sexual abuse in the third degree), with the same child, and at least days have elapsed between the first and last acts of sexual abuse.4 and provides that a person years of age or older commits continuous sexual abuse of a child when the person engages in any combination of three or more acts of sexual abuse with the same child, and at least days have elapsed between the first and last acts of sexual abuse.
Read the full explanation
A person who commits continuous sexual abuse of a child is guilty of a class “B” felony and shall be confined for not more than years. If a jury is the trier of fact, the jury must unanimously agree that three or more acts of sexual abuse were committed with the same child and that at least days have elapsed between the first act and the last act, but the jury need not unanimously agree which specific acts were committed, and on which exact dates the acts occurred. Each act of sexual abuse is a lesser included offense of continuous sexual abuse of a child.1 to include any sex act between persons when the act is performed with a child.5 as any person under the age of 14. The bill provides that a person serving a sentence for a conviction of continuous sexual abuse of a child shall be denied parole or work release unless the person has served at least seven-tenths of the maximum term of the person’s sentence.

Fiscal note
House File 176 is estimated to increase costs to the DOC by creating a mandatory minimum sentence, but the extent of the increase in costs is unknown. If one individual is admitted to prison for continuous sexual abuse of a child, the mandatory minimum sentence would increase costs to the DOC by approximately $217,000 over that individual’s period of incarceration, as shown in Table 1.
