New York A00104 amends the criminal procedure law to exclude evidence of a victim's prior prostitution convictions from sex offense prosecutions.
New York A00104 amends Section 60.42 of the criminal procedure law to modify the rules of evidence in sex offense cases. Specifically, it removes from admissibility evidence that proves or tends to prove that a victim has been convicted of a prostitution offense within three years prior to the sex offense being prosecuted. This change aims to protect victims from having their past convictions used against them in future sex offense cases, potentially improving their chances of fair treatment in court.
