The Idaho legislature passed a bill this week to carry out the death penalty for sex crimes against children younger than 12. Another bill permitting prosecutors to bring sexual exploitation charges against producers of child pornography using artificial intelligence (AI) also passed the assembly in the same session. HB 515 would amend Idaho's current statute that carries a life sentence for "lewd conduct with a minor" below the age of 16. If the child is under 12, if the act is "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel, manifesting exceptional depravity," then prosecutors would seek the death penalty.
