The bill updates certain actions described as sexual exploitation of
a child to reflect access and viewing due to evolving technology.
The bill makes sexual exploitation of a child an extraordinary risk
crime, enhancing the presumptive sentencing range in certain circumstances.
The bill creates the sexual exploitation of children surcharge for
any person who is convicted of or receives a deferred sentence for sexual exploitation of a child. Ninety-five percent of the surcharge goes to the sexual exploitation of children surcharge fund. The money in the fund will provide funding to the Colorado bureau of investigation (bureau) to develop and acquire, and allow the bureau to help other law enforcement agencies with developing and acquiring, necessary technological and expert resources to investigate and prosecute computer-facilitated crimes of sexual exploitation of a child.
