This bill relates to sexual abuse by fraud, concealment, or artifice regarding marital status. The bill provides that sexual abuse includes a person obtaining the consent of another person by the use of fraud, concealment, or artifice, who intentionally deceives the other person regarding the person’s marital status such that a reasonable person would not have consented but for the deception. The bill provides that a person commits sexual abuse in the third degree when the person obtains the other person’s consent through the use of fraud, concealment, or artifice regarding the person’s marital status, and the person performing the act knows or reasonably should have known that the other person would not have consented but for the deception. Sexual abuse in the third degree is a class “C” felony. A class “C” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than 10 years and a fine of at least $1,370 but not more than $13,660. A person committing a violation of the bill is required to register as a tier III sex offender.
