A00794 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A794E
 
SPONSOR: Simotas (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, the criminal procedure law, the correction law, the social services law, the vehicle and traffic law, the family court act, the civil rights law, the civil practice law and rules, the agriculture and markets law, the judiciary law and the domes- tic relations law, in relation to sex offenses; and to repeal certain provisions of the penal law relating thereto   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To amend the penal law to remove the penetration requirement from the rape statutes as well as to define rape as sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct, or anal sexual conduct.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill removes the penetration requirement from the rape statutes, redefines rape to include oral and anal sexual conduct within the defi- nition of rape and makes conforming changes throughout various areas of law.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): The amended version makes technical amendments to the bill:   JUSTIFICATION: On March 28, 2012, a Justice of the New York State Supreme Court declared a mistrial on the rape charge against former New York City Police Officer Michael Pena. Pena was convicted of several other charges for holding the schoolteacher at gunpoint, threatening her life and forcibly sodomizing her. Pena was not convicted of rape despite over- whelming evidence of forcible, nonconsensual sexual conduct with a Bronx school teacher, It is galling that in the face of evidence of the defendant's semen in the victim's underwear, redness to her genitals, eyewitness testimony and the victim's own account of the pain of the attack; Pena was not convicted of the top count of rape. Common sense dictates that what happened to the victim in this case is rape. This bill will redefine rape to include oral and anal sexual conduct, which are now referred to as "criminal sexual act," so that these other forms of sexual assault are recognized by the law as rape.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2015-16: A4959B 2017-2018: A4249A   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:   EFFECTIVE DATE: : : This act will take effect on January 1, 2021.

        A. 794--E                          12
 
     1  so would be in the interests of  justice.  Where,  however,  the  felony

    15  the prosecution; or (iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime.
    16    §  29.  Subdivision 5 of section 722.21 of the criminal procedure law,

    23  the  family  court  pursuant  to the provisions of article seven hundred
    24  twenty-five of this title and upon consideration of the criteria  speci-
    25  fied  in subdivision two of section 722.22 of this article, it is deter-
    26  mined that to do so would be in the interests of justice. Where,  howev-
    27  er,  the felony complaint charges the adolescent offender with murder in
    28  the second degree as defined in section 125.25 of the penal law, rape in
    29  the first degree as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision  one,  para-

    33  law,] or an armed felony as defined  in  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision
    34  forty-one  of  section  1.20  of this chapter, a determination that such
    35  action be removed to the family court shall, in addition, be based  upon
    36  a  finding  of  one  or  more  of  the following factors: (i) mitigating
    37  circumstances that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime  was
    38  committed;  or  (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in
    39  the crime, the defendant's participation was relatively  minor  although
    40  not  so  minor  as  to constitute a defense to the prosecution; or (iii)
    41  possible deficiencies in proof of the crime.
    42    § 30. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 722.22 of the criminal
    43  procedure law, as added by section 1-a of part WWW of chapter 59 of  the

    46  action involving an indictment charging a juvenile offender with  murder
    47  in the second degree as defined in section 125.25 of the penal law; rape
    48  in  the  first  degree,  as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision one,

    51  degree, as defined in subdivision one of section  130.50  of  the  penal
    52  law];  or  an  armed  felony  as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision
    53  forty-one of section 1.20 of this chapter, to the family court  pursuant
    54  to  the provisions of article seven hundred twenty-five of this title if
    55  the court finds one or more of the  following  factors:  (i)  mitigating
    56  circumstances  that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime was

        A. 794--E                          13
 
     1  committed; (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in  the
     2  crime,  the  defendant's participation was relatively minor although not
     3  so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution; or (iii)  possi-
     4  ble  deficiencies in the proof of the crime, and, after consideration of
     5  the factors set forth in subdivision two  of  this  section,  the  court
     6  determined  that  removal  of the action to the family court would be in
     7  the interests of justice.

    11    (iii) Where the indictment  does  not  charge  a  crime  specified  in
    12  subparagraph  (i) of this paragraph, the district attorney may recommend
    13  removal of the action to the family court. Upon making such  recommenda-
    14  tion  the district attorney shall submit a subscribed memorandum setting
    15  forth: (1) a recommendation that the interests of justice would best  be
    16  served  by  removal  of  the  action to the family court; and (2) if the
    17  indictment charges a thirteen year old with the crime of murder  in  the
    18  second degree, or a fourteen or fifteen year old with the crimes of rape
    19  in  the  first  degree  as  defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision one,
    20  paragraph (a) of subdivision two and paragraph (a) of subdivision  three

    22  degree  as  defined  in  subdivision  one of section 130.50 of the penal
    23  law,] or an armed felony as defined  in  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision
    24  forty-one  of section 1.20 of this chapter specific factors, one or more
    25  of which reasonably supports the recommendation, showing, (i) mitigating
    26  circumstances that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime  was
    27  committed,  or  (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in
    28  the crime, that  the  defendant's  participation  was  relatively  minor
    29  although  not so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution, or
    30  (iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime,  or  (iv)  where  the
    31  juvenile  offender  has  no previous adjudications of having committed a
    32  designated felony act, as defined in subdivision eight of section  301.2
    33  of  the  family  court act, regardless of the age of the offender at the
    34  time of commission of the act, that the criminal act was not part  of  a
    35  pattern  of  criminal behavior and, in view of the history of the offen-
    36  der, is not likely to be repeated.
    37    § 32. Subdivision 6 of section 300.50 of the criminal  procedure  law,
    38  as  amended  by  chapter  264 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read as

    44  penal law], are not lesser  included  offenses  of  rape  in  the  first
    45  degree[,  criminal sexual act in the first degree] or any other offense.
    46  Notwithstanding the foregoing, [either] any such offense may be  submit-
    47  ted  as a lesser included offense of the applicable first degree offense
    48  when (i) there is a reasonable view of the evidence which would  support
    49  a  finding  that the defendant committed such lesser offense but did not
    50  commit the greater  offense,  and  (ii)  both  parties  consent  to  its
    51  submission.
    52    § 32-a. Subdivision 6 of section 380.50 of the criminal procedure law,
