Trinity's Law
Mothers Against Pedophiles is in support of "Trinity's Law" which will feature certain aspects and stiffer penalties concerning Sex Crimes especially against children:
TRINITY'S LAW
- NO PLEA BARGAINING IN ANY SEX CRIME CASE
- LEGISLATION REQUIRING MANDATORY SENTENCES AND ELECTRONIC MONITORING FOR CONVICTED CHILD SEX OFFENDERS
- AUTOMATIC 25-LIFE SENTENCE FOR SEX CRIMES AGAINST A 6 YR OLD CHILD OR YOUNGER
- A MANDATORY/MINIMUM OF A 25 YEAR SENTENCE FOR ANY SEX CRIME
- AUTOMATIC LIFE/DEATH SENTENCE IF ANY SEX CRIME RESULTS IN THE DEATH OF CHILD
- PRISON TIME IS TO BE SERVED DAY FOR DAY (no good time allowed)
legislation requiring mandatory sentences and electronic monitoring for convicted child sex offenders should be a requirement.
Each year, millions of children fall prey to sexual predators. One in five girls and one in ten boys are sexually exploited before they reach adulthood, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Long mandatory sentences for child sex offenders are the most effective for the following reasons:
1. Mandatory sentences increase the severity of punishment, and act as a deterrent to crimes, likely reducing the number of sexual crimes against children.
2. Mandatory sentences are a direct and immediate measure to prevent another crime from occurring. Kept away from the general population, sex offenders cannot commit another sex offense against a child during their prison term.
3. Longer prison sentences reduce the substantial burden placed on law enforcement to keep track of an increasing number of offenders.
4. A high recidivism rate among sex offenders merits tougher penalties to prevent the all-too-common re-offense. Convicted sex offenders are four times more likely than other criminals to be rearrested for a sex crime, according to a 2003 study by the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). That statistic probably understates the risk of recidivism as it compares convicted sex offenders with other criminals rather than the general population, it examines only one-time sex offenders instead of the two-time offenders who are more likely still to repeat the crime, and it counts only re-arrests as repeat offenses, when others may have committed sex crimes without detection.
Of the released sex offenders who commit repeat offenses, forty percent perpetrated the new offense within one year of their prison discharge, and the majority of the children they molested after leaving prison were age thirteen or younger, according to BJS.
For all of these reason, we believe "Trinity’s Law" should be passed.
