Creates new class E felony of fraudulent accosting in the first degree

This bill creates a new criminal offense called fraudulent accosting in the first degree, which applies specifically when a scammer targets a victim who is 65 years old or older. Under the new law, if someone uses a trick, swindle, or confidence game to steal property worth more than $250 from an elderly person in a public place, they face a class E felony charge instead of the previous misdemeanor penalty. The legislation also includes a legal presumption that anyone engaging in typical confidence game behavior intends to defraud their victim, making it easier to prove intent in court. These changes aim to increase the severity of punishments for scammers who exploit older adults while maintaining the existing definition of what constitutes a confidence game.
