A Florida Republican is proposing legislation that would require convicted child sex abusers to face either the death penalty or life in prison.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said the “No Repeat Child Sex Offenders Act” will be introduced in the House on Thursday, according to Fox News. She outlined her philosophy in a pair of social media posts.
“You cannot rehabilitate predators. If you rape children, you deserve the death penalty,” Luna posted on X.
“Death penalty. It will come to the floor. Let’s see who tries to protect pedophiles,” she wrote on Facebook.
In comments to Fox, Luna noted that her bill applies to those who hire minors for sex.
“Anyone who is even going to consider exploiting someone like this — and you can’t tell me that they don’t know that these people are trafficked or that they don’t know that that’s a young child — but the fact is … if you’re knowingly doing this, you have to be held accountable,” she said.
