SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Mentally disabled victims; penalty. Removes, for the purposes of charging a defendant with aggravated sexual battery against a mentally disabled person, the requirement that the mentally disabled person must also be a person of a young age, threatened with a dangerous weapon, or caused physical or mental harm. The bill also allows for testimony in a criminal trial to be given by mentally disabled victims in the same fashion as child victims and witnesses.
