Crimes and offenses, custodial sexual misconduct further provided for

SB 81 expands the existing prohibition on custodial sexual misconduct. It makes it unlawful for any person who has professional access to individuals in the custody of the Department of Corrections, Department of Youth Services, or local law enforcement to engage in sexual conduct with them. The bill also prohibits probation and parole officers from engaging in sexual conduct with individuals under their supervisory authority. Violations are classified as custodial sexual misconduct, a Class C felony, and the consent of the person in custody or on supervision is not a defense.
