Louisiana bill to castrate sex offenders moving toward governor’s desk for signature
Fox News
A bill allowing judges to sentence child rapists to surgical castration may be signed into law by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry.
The law would allow judges to order the procedure for men or women who have committed an aggravated sexual offense against a child under 13, assuming that they are a viable candidate. The procedure would take place no less than one week after a convicted person finishes their prison sentence. If they don't show up or refuse, per the proposed bill, they could be sentenced to an additional three to five years behind bars. Christina Coulter is a U.S. and World reporter for Fox News Digital.
