LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1335, as amended, Maienschein. Sex offenses: disabled victims.
(1) Existing law requires that a person who commits rape, or an
act of sodomy, oral copulation, or sexual penetration, against a
person incapable, because of a mental disorder or developmental or
physical disability, of giving legal consent, be punished by
imprisonment in the state prison for 3, 6, or 8 years. Existing law
also requires that a person who commits sodomy, oral copulation, or
sexual penetration, if, at the time of the offense, both the
defendant and the victim are confined in a state hospital for the
care and treatment of the mentally disordered or in any other public
or private facility for the care and treatment of the mentally
disordered, be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 16
months, or 2 or 3 years, or by imprisonment in a county jail for a
period of not more than one year.
This bill would instead make these crimes punishable by
imprisonment in the state prison for 9, 11, or 13 years. By
increasing the punishment for these crimes, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
(2) Under existing law, a defendant who, voluntarily acting in
concert with another person, by force or by violence and against the
will of the victim, commits an act of rape, spousal rape, or sexual
penetration, either personally or by aiding and abetting the other
person, is guilty of a crime punishable by imprisonment in the state
prison for 5, 7, or 9 years.
This bill would make it a crime punishable by imprisonment in the
state prison for 10, 12, or 14 years to commit an act of rape,
spousal rape, or sexual penetration in concert with another person,
either personally or by aiding and abetting the other person, against
a person who is incapable, because of a mental disorder or
developmental or physical disability, of giving legal consent. By
creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
(3) Under existing law, any person who resides in the same home
with a minor child or has recurring access to the child, who over a
period of time, not less than 3 months in duration, engages in 3 or
more acts of substantial sexual conduct with a child under 14 years
of age, is guilty of the offense of continuous sexual abuse of a
child, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of
6, 12, or 16 years.
This bill would make any person who resides in the same home with
a disabled person or has recurring access to the disabled person, who
over a period of time, not less than 3 months in duration, engages
in 3 or more acts of substantial sexual conduct with the disabled
person, guilty of the crime of continuous sexual abuse of a disabled
person, and would make the crime punishable by imprisonment in the
state prison for a term of 6, 12, or 16 years. By creating a new
crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

felony offense from accruing more than 15% of worktime credit, as
defined, against his or her prison sentence.

sodomy, and oral copulation perpetrated against a person who is

disability, of giving legal consent to the above provisions.

victim incapable of giving legal consent.
(c) Any person who commits an act of sexual penetration, and the
victim is at the time incapable, because of a mental disorder or
developmental or physical disability, of giving legal consent, and
this is known or reasonably should be known to the person committing

six, or eight years.
(f) Any person who commits an act of sexual penetration when the

the authority of a public official to incarcerate, arrest, or deport

imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three, six, or eight
years.
As used in this subdivision, "public official" means a person
employed by a governmental agency who has the authority, as part of
that position, to incarcerate, arrest, or deport another. The
perpetrator does not actually have to be a public official.
(h) Except as provided in Section 288, any person who participates
in an act of sexual penetration with another person who is under 18
years of age shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison or

foreign object, substance, instrument, or device, or by any other
part of the body.
(l) As used in subdivision (a), "threatening to retaliate" means a
threat to kidnap or falsely imprison, or inflict extreme pain,
