Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is putting forth a bill in the House that aims to ensure convicted child sex abusers face severe consequences for their actions. The proposed legislation, known as the “No Repeat Child Sex Offenders Act,” would mandate either the death penalty or life imprisonment for these offenders. As reported by Fox News, Rep. Luna shared her perspective on this matter through a series of posts on social media.
“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.
Luna also told Fox 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.
“It’s pretty black and white.”
The legislation would additionally enforce capital punishment or lifetime incarceration for individuals found guilty of sex trafficking. Presently, sex traffickers can face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison along with a monetary penalty.
“It’s absurd to me, not only as a new mom, but also if you just look at some of the federal statutes, that there’s not more strict punishments for people that are doing this,” Luna said.
I am also introducing a bill this week regarding rape. It is absurd that rapists can get off after a few years of “good” behavior after destroying lives. I will also be asking to increase the federal minimum. https://t.co/YcyiumExfh
