Under current law, a person who, for purposes of sexual arousal or gratification,
causes a child to expose genitals or pubic area or exposes genitals or pubic area to a
child is, with some exceptions, guilty of a felony. This bill adds the exposure of
"intimate parts," which is defined to include a breast, buttock, anus, or groin of a
human being.
Under current law, if a judge receives a presentence investigation report, the
judge must disclose the contents of the report to the district attorney prior to
sentencing and the district attorney generally must keep the report confidential.

This bill provides the victim the right to view the sentence recommendation on the
presentence report and allows the district attorney to share the recommendation.
Under current law, with exceptions, evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts
may not be admitted in a criminal proceeding to prove the person acted in character.
This bill states that, in a prosecution alleging human trafficking, an offense against
a child, a serious sex offense, or a crime of domestic abuse or alleging the defendant
committed a crime against his or her spouse, an individual with whom the defendant
cohabited, or an individual with whom the defendant has a child, evidence of similar
acts is generally admissible, and is admissible regardless of whether the victim of the
other act is the same as the offense that is the subject of the prosecution.
Under current law, a court may place a person who has committed a serious sex
offense on lifetime supervision if the court determines that such placement is
necessary to protect the public. Included in the list of serious sex offenses is a
violation, or the solicitation, conspiracy, or attempt to commit a violation, of a crime
against life and bodily security, a crime against property, a crime against sexual
morality, or a crime against a child, if the court determines that the person
committed the violation for his or her sexual arousal or gratification. This bill adds
to the list of serious sex offenses the violation, or the solicitation, conspiracy, or
attempt to commit a violation, of a crime against reputation, privacy, and civil
liberties, if the court determines that the person committed the violation for his or
her sexual arousal or gratification.
This bill adds the offense of strangulation to several statutes, including to the
list of offenses that render the person ineligible to participate in the intensive
sanctions program, to the list of crimes for which a victim may be compensated by
the Department of Justice, and to the definition of domestic abuse offense for the
purpose of keeping confidential the victim's personal information on certain voting
documents.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
