Tennessee proposes death penalty for child rape under 12, expanding 2024 law.
Tennessee State Representative Greg Martin has introduced House Bill 1454 to expand the state’s death penalty law to include the rape of children under 12, adding aggravating factors like prior sex offenses, use of weapons or intoxicants, and filming the crime.
The bill builds on a 2024 law that already made such rape a Class A felony with 40–60-year sentences and allowed capital punishment.
It aims to strengthen accountability for child predators and enhance public safety, with the second session of the 114th Tennessee General Assembly set to begin January 13, 2025.
