Sexual Predator Prosecution. Prepare a paper that details your home state's approach to sexual predators. Address following items in your paper:
- Does your state have any laws that prohibit conduct that would be considered to be predatory?
- What types of crimes are codified into law, misdemeanor, or felony?
- What are the punishments?
- Are there mandatory punishments, or do judges have discretion in sentencing a defendant after conviction?
- According to the statutes that you research, is mere solicitation of improper activities enough for a prosecution, or must there be physical contact?
- Provide your opinion on the statute(s) and their varying severity on sexual predators.
