Establishes sexual battery crime for minors and revises penalties.
Mississippi SB2074 amends the state code to define sexual battery as engaging in sexual penetration with a child under 18 if the perpetrator is significantly older. It sets penalties based on the age of the victim and the perpetrator, with the harshest penalties for perpetrators over 24 years older than a child under 14. The bill also revises the process for handling domestic abuse protection orders, ensuring they are entered into a statewide registry and protected from public disclosure.
