Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna reintroduces bills proposing death penalty for child sexual abuse.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has reintroduced a set of bills that could impose the death penalty or life imprisonment for child sexual abuse crimes. The legislation, which failed to gain traction in the last Congress, also mandates a minimum 30-year sentence for rape and sexual abuse against adults. Luna, arguing that these offenders are irredeemable, believes the severe penalties are necessary to protect children. Despite support from President-elect Donald Trump, the bills must pass through Congress.
