HB 14-ASSAULT; SEX OFFENSES; SENT. AGGRAVATOR 3:33:48 PM CO-CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that the final order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 14, "An Act relating to assault in the first degree; relating to sex offenses; relating to the definition of 'dangerous instrument'; and providing for an aggravating factor at sentencing for strangulation that results in unconsciousness." 3:34:17 PM REPRESENTATIVE JOHN LINCOLN, Alaska State Legislature, as prime sponsor of HB 14, paraphrased from the sponsor statement as follows [original punctuation provided]: House Bill 14 (HB 14) classifies the act of ejaculating on a person without their consent as a sex crime and recognizes the serious nature of strangulation to the point of unconsciousness by classifying the act as first degree assault and including it in the list of aggravating factors for sentencing. In the fall of 2018 a plea deal agreement illuminated the fact that ejaculating on a person without their consent could not be prosecuted as a sex offense in Alaska. This bill enhances sexual assault statutes by adding unwanted contact with ejaculate to the definitions of sexual assault in the third degree and sexual abuse of a minor in the third degree, depending on the age of the victim. HB 14 also acknowledges the seriousness of strangulation. Strangulation is prevalent in domestic violence incidences, and 56% of women murdered in Alaska in 2017 were killed by an intimate partner. A study published by the Journal of Emergency Medicine found that a prior non-fatal strangulation increases a woman's likelihood of becoming a homicide victim by 700%, and non-fatal strangulation preceded 43% of domestic homicides. This bill recognizes the gravity of strangulation as a precursor to future violent crimes. REPRESENTATIVE LINCOLN thanked the following: 49th Rising, No More Free Passes, the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (ANDVSA), the Public Defender Agency (Department of Administration (DOA)), Department of Law (DOL), Legislative Legal Services, and the co-sponsors of HB 14. 3:36:36 PM CO-CHAIR FIELDS moved to adopt the committee substitute (CS) for HB 14 [Version 31-LS0182\E, Radford, 2/26/19]. There being no objection, Version E was before the committee. 3:37:19 PM ROSE FOLEY, Staff, Representative John Lincoln, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Lincoln, prime sponsor of HB 14, paraphrased from the sectional analysis for Version E as follows [original punctuation provided]: Section 1: Amends AS 11.41.200(a), classifying strangulation to the point of unconsciousness as assault in the first degree. Section 2: Amends AS 11.81.900(b)(15), clarifying that "dangerous instrument" with relation to strangulation includes hands or "other body parts". Section 3: Amends AS 11.81.900(b)(60), to include in the definition of sexual contact "the defendant's knowingly causing the victim to come into contact with ejaculate". Section 4: Amends AS 12.55.155(c), adding strangulation to the point of unconsciousness to the list of aggravating factors to be considered at sentencing. Section 5: Establishes that the provisions are applicable only to crimes committed on or after the effective date of the legislation. [HB 14 was held over.]
