                                BILL NUMBER:S7240

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 and the
judiciary 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 SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill removes the penetration
requirement from the rape statutes, redefines rape to include oral and
anal sexual conduct within the definition of rape and makes conforming
changes throughout various areas of law.

EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW WHICH THIS BILL WOULD ALTER:  This bill removes
the penetration requirement from the rape statutes and redefines rape
to include oral and anal sexual conduct within the definition of rape.

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 overwhelming 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: None

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:  None.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after
it shall have become a law and shall apply to any offense on or after
such effective date. As it pertains to the repealed sections of law,
nothing in this act shall affect a requirement to register pursuant to
article 6-C of the correction law; a lawfully required disclosure of a
conviction; any restriction or prohibition for certain types of
employment, housing, or government benefit; or any other ongoing
matter related to a conviction of the sections repealed in this act.
