This Act implements one of the recommendations made in the Final Report of the Independent Review of the Earl Brian Bradley Case which was commissioned by the Governor and was issued on May 10, 2010. The Act clarifies who is in a “position of trust, authority or supervision over a child” and may therefore be subject to the enhanced penalties associated with the crimes defining sexual abuse of children. This Act also consolidates those provisions of the present criminal code concerning rape and unlawful sexual conduct that contain “position of trust” enhancement as a single crime known as "sexual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust, authority or supervision." This Act further applies the "position of trust" category to other acts of sexual abuse that do not currently have any enhancement when perpetrated by a person in a "position of trust," including sexual extortion, sexual harassment, and indecent exposure. Lastly, the Act makes the necessary changes to related sex offender registration and sentencing provisions.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Crimes Against Children And Specific Offenses.
