1 19 EXPLANATION
1 20 This bill provides for the imposition of an additional
1 21 sentence of mandatory parole or work release for certain
1 22 persons convicted of the criminal offense of lascivious acts
1 23 with a child in violation of Code section 709.8.
1 24 The bill provides that if an offender is sentenced to a
1 25 period of confinement, the court shall also sentence the
1 26 person to an additional sentence of parole or work release not
1 27 to exceed two years. The bill provides that the additional
1 28 sentence of parole or work release shall run consecutive to
1 29 the first sentence of confinement. The bill also provides
1 30 that upon the expiration of the first sentence, the board of
1 31 parole shall determine whether the person shall be placed on
1 32 parole or work release during the additional sentence. Under
1 33 the bill, if a person violates a condition of the additional
1 34 sentence of parole or work release, the additional sentence of
1 35 parole or work release may be revoked and the person sentenced
2 1 to a period of confinement in the same manner as any other
2 2 person on parole or work release status.
2 3 Generally, a person who commits lascivious acts with a
2 4 child touches, solicits, or inflicts pain on a child for the
2 5 purpose of arousing the sexual desires of the person or the
2 6 child. A person who commits lascivious acts with a child is
2 7 guilty of a class "D" felony. A class "D" felony is
2 8 punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a
2 9 fine of at least $750 but not more than $7,500.
