Authorities praise new strict penalties on child sex predators

By Jamar Younger | Arizona Capitol Times

Key Points:
  • Republican lawmakers and law enforcement officials celebrated the signing of Senate Bill 1585
  • The new law allows predators who are caught soliciting undercover officers to be charged with sex crimes
  • Those convicted could face an average prison sentence of 10 years

Sen. Janae Shamp joined Republican lawmakers and law enforcement leaders from Pinal County to announce the signing of a bill that will impose stricter penalties on child sex predators.

The new law amends the definition of dangerous crimes against children to include offenses committed against adults who pose as minors. The law is intended to close what officials say is a loophole that allows some people convicted of child sex crimes to avoid prison.

Gov. Katie Hobbs signed the law on April 18. The legislation, introduced as Senate Bill 1585, passed through the House and Senate chambers with unanimous approval.
