Justice for Rape Survivors Act

HR 395, the Justice for Rape Survivors Act, mandates a minimum 30-year prison sentence for individuals convicted of aggravated sexual abuse or sexual abuse under federal law. It directly affects those found guilty of these specific crimes by replacing current sentencing language with a fixed 30-year minimum term. The bill amends Title 18, United States Code, sections 2241 (aggravated sexual abuse) and 2242 (sexual abuse), requiring courts to impose at least 30 years in prison or life imprisonment for these offenses. This policy change increases the minimum sentence for these crimes without altering the definitions of the offenses themselves.
