LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 860, as amended, Daly. begin deleteHate crimes: political affiliation. end deletebegin insertSex crimes: professional services.end insert

begin insert

Under existing law, a person is guilty of sexual battery, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail or in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years, if he or she touches an intimate part of another person for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse, while the victim is unconscious of the nature of the act because the perpetrator fraudulently represented that the touching served a professional purpose.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would expand the crime of sexual battery to apply to a person who performs professional services that entail having access to another person’s body, who touches an intimate part of the that person’s body while performing those services and the touching was against the person’s will and for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse. The bill would make the crime punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years, and by a fine not exceeding $10,000. By expanding the scope of a crime and increasing the punishment for a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

end insert
begin insert

Existing law defines rape as an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person not the spouse of the perpetrator under any of several circumstances. Existing law also defines the crimes of sodomy, oral copulation, and sexual penetration.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would expand the definitions of each of those crimes to include when any of those acts are performed against a victim’s will by a professional whose services entail having access to the victim’s body, if the conduct is performed by the professional while performing those services. By expanding the scope of crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

end insert
begin insert

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

end insert
begin delete

Existing law defines “hate crime” as a criminal act committed, in whole or in part, because of actual or perceived characteristics of the victim, including, among other things, race, religion, disability, and sexual orientation. Under existing law, that definition applies unless an explicit provision of law or the context clearly requires a different meaning. Existing law provides punishments for hate crimes that range from misdemeanors with specified penalties to felonies with additional terms of one to 3 years in state prison, depending on the underlying criminal act and other circumstances. Existing law requires, with conditions, the Attorney General to direct local law enforcement agencies to report specified information relative to hate crimes to the Department of Justice. Existing law requires the department to annually submit a report to the Legislature that analyzes the results of information obtained from local law enforcement pursuant to these provisions. Local law enforcement entities are required by existing law to provide a brochure on hate crimes to victims of these crimes and to the public, and the Department of Fair Employment and Housing is required by existing law to revise those brochures as needed and to provide those brochures to local law enforcement agencies upon request.

end delete
begin delete

This bill would add political affiliation to the list of actual or perceived characteristics necessary to determine whether a criminal act qualifies as a hate crime. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. By expanding the information that local law enforcement agencies are required to report to the Department of Justice, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

261.  

(a) Rape is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished
17with a person not the spouse of the perpetrator, under any of the
18following circumstances:

19(1) Where a person is incapable, because of a mental disorder
20or developmental or physical disability, of giving legal consent,
21and this is known or reasonably should be known to the person
22committing the act. Notwithstanding the existence of a
23conservatorship pursuant to the provisions of the
24Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Part 1 (commencing with Section
255000) of Division 5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code), the
26prosecuting attorney shall prove, as an element of the crime, that
27a mental disorder or developmental or physical disability rendered
28the alleged victim incapable of giving consent.

29(2) Where it is accomplished against a person’s will by means
30of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and
31unlawful bodily injury on the person or another.

32(3) Where a person is prevented from resisting by any
33intoxicating or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance,
34and this condition was known, or reasonably should have been
35known by the accused.

36(4) Where a person is at the time unconscious of the nature of
37the act, and this is known to the accused. As used in this paragraph,
38“unconscious of the nature of the act” means incapable of resisting
39because the victim meets any one of the following conditions:

40(A) Was unconscious or asleep.

P7    1(B) Was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant that the
2act occurred.

3(C) Was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant of the
4essential characteristics of the act due to the perpetrator’s fraud in
5fact.

6(D) Was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant of the
7essential characteristics of the act due to the perpetrator’s fraudulent
8representation that the sexual penetration served a professional
9purpose when it served no professional purpose.

10(5) Where a person submits under the belief that the person
11committing the act is someone known to the victim other than the
12accused, and this belief is induced by any artifice, pretense, or
13concealment practiced by the accused, with intent to induce the
14belief.

15(6) Where the act is accomplished against the victim’s will by
16 threatening to retaliate in the future against the victim or any other
17person, and there is a reasonable possibility that the perpetrator
18will execute the threat. As used in this paragraph, “threatening to
19retaliate” means a threat to kidnap or falsely imprison, or to inflict
20extreme pain, serious bodily injury, or death.

21(7) Where the act is accomplished against the victim’s will by
22threatening to use the authority of a public official to incarcerate,
23arrest, or deport the victim or another, and the victim has a
24reasonable belief that the perpetrator is a public official. As used
25in this paragraph, “public official” means a person employed by
26a governmental agency who has the authority, as part of that
27position, to incarcerate, arrest, or deport another. The perpetrator
28does not actually have to be a public official.

begin insert

29(8) Where the act is accomplished against the victim’s will by
30a person while that person is performing professional services
31that entail having access to the victim’s body.

end insert

32(b) As used in this section, “duress” means a direct or implied
33threat of force, violence, danger, or retribution sufficient to coerce
34a reasonable person of ordinary susceptibilities to perform an act
35which otherwise would not have been performed, or acquiesce in
36an act to which one otherwise would not have submitted. The total
37circumstances, including the age of the victim, and his or her
38relationship to the defendant, are factors to consider in appraising
39the existence of duress.

P8    1(c) As used in this section, “menace” means any threat,
2declaration, or act which shows an intention to inflict an injury
3 upon another.
