Louisiana SB410 enhances penalties for accessories after the fact to sex offenses.

Louisiana SB410 amends the state's law to enhance penalties for individuals who aid, harbor, or conceal sex offenders after the crime. Specifically, it mandates that an accessory after the fact to a sex offense not punishable by life imprisonment will receive a sentence of not less than half the minimum nor more than half the maximum sentence for a principal offender. For sex offenses punishable by life imprisonment, the accessory will be imprisoned at hard labor for a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 50 years without parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.
