No Repeat Child Sex Offenders Act
This bill amends multiple sections of Title 18 (U.S. Code) related to child sexual abuse and trafficking, replacing existing prison terms with mandatory death or life imprisonment penalties. It directly affects individuals convicted under provisions covering sex trafficking of children (18 U.S.C. § 1591), transportation of minors (§ 2423), aggravated sexual abuse (§ 2241), and other child exploitation offenses. Key provisions eliminate all prior sentencing ranges (e.g., "imprisoned for not less than 10 years") and require courts to impose the death penalty or life imprisonment for these crimes. The bill does not create new offenses but significantly increases penalties for existing violations under these specific statutes.
