LEWD CONDUCT – Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the crime of aggravated lewd conduct with a minor child under sixteen, to establish provisions regarding the crime of aggravated lewd conduct with a minor child twelve or under, and to provide a punishment for the crime of aggravated lewd conduct with a minor child twelve or under.

This Idaho bill (H 380) creates three new criminal offenses for severe sexual abuse of children, targeting specific age groups: - **Aggravated lewd conduct with minors aged 13-15** (Section 18-1508B), - **Aggravated lewd conduct with minors aged 12 or younger** (Section 18-1508C), - And specifies **punishment for the latter offense** (Section 18-1508D). It mandates a **25-year minimum prison sentence** for these crimes if *two or more* aggravating factors apply, such as prior sex offenses, use of force, position of trust (e.g., teacher or parent), or kidnapping. The bill also bars parole for offenders sentenced to fixed terms under these provisions (Section 18-1508E). The law directly affects **children under 16** and **adults convicted of severe sexual abuse involving them**, with penalties designed to increase sentencing severity for repeat or high-risk offenses.
