Surgical castration bill passes in Louisiana
Child sex offenders convicted of aggravated rape, aggravated incestuous crime or aggravated crime against nature with victims under age 13 would be forced to undergo surgery inside prisons.
If Governor Jeff Landry signs the bill, Louisiana would become the first state in America to allow judges to order surgical castration for child sex offenders.
According to Sandy Rozek with the National Association for Rational Sex Offense Laws (NARSOL), “It is, at best, ineffective and, at worst, barbaric.”
