The bill authorizes the use of the death penalty for rape of a child, aggravated rape of a child or especially aggravated rape of a child.

Tennessee currently requires that adults convicted of child rape receive a sentence of no less than 15 years and no more than 60 years. It now changes to a life sentence or death on July 1.

This new measure is designed to increase the severity of the punishment and send a clear message to offenders that crimes against children will not be tolerated in Tennessee. Conservative state lawmakers hope this new measure will serve as a deterrent to would-be child rapists and reduce the number of child abuse cases in Tennessee.
