Rep. Nancy Mace,<\/a> R-S.C., has introduced a bill to authorize the death penalty as a potential punishment for the sexual abuse of children.<\/p>\n

“We have zero mercy for child rapists<\/a>. Those who prey on our most vulnerable deserve the harshest consequence we can deliver,” Mace said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The proposal is aptly called the “Death Penalty for Child Rapists Act.”<\/p>\n

“No predator should be allowed to walk away from the most unthinkable crimes against children,” Mace noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This bill is simple. Rape a child and you don’t get a second chance, you get the death penalty. We will never apologize for protecting America\u2019s children,” Mace added.<\/p>\n

The bill would put capital punishment on the table as an option to punish those who sexually abuse children.<\/p>\n

“INTRODUCING: The Death Penalty for Child Rapists Act to amend Title 18 to authorize the death penalty for aggravated sexual abuse, sexual abuse of a minor and abusive sexual contact offenses against children. It will also amend the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to authorize the death penalty for the rape of a child,” she said in a post<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

“We’ve spent months fighting to expose Jeffrey Epstein’s network of powerful predators. We’ve demanded accountability and pushed for transparency. Now we’re making sure anyone who rapes a child faces the ultimate consequence,” she noted.<\/p>\n

Mace has served in the U.S. House of Representatives<\/a> since early 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n
