HB528

Require 7 year mandatory minimum prison term for forcible rape

Chamber Passed·6/3/26

Ohio HB528 mandates a seven-year minimum prison term for forcible rape convictions.

Ohio HB528 amends the state's criminal code to establish a mandatory minimum seven-year prison term for those convicted of forcible rape. This applies to cases where the offender substantially impairs the victim's judgment or control through the use of drugs, intoxicants, or controlled substances. The bill also outlines specific conditions under which sexual conduct is considered non-consensual, including when the victim is less than thirteen years old or their ability to resist or consent is substantially impaired due to mental or physical conditions.
