Criminal Sentencing Sexual Assault Laws
# SB107 Summary
SB107 revises South Dakota's rape laws by removing the spousal exemption, meaning a person can now be prosecuted for sexually assaulting their spouse—a crime previously excluded from rape statutes. The bill also expands the definition of rape to include additional non-consensual sexual acts beyond traditional penetration, broadening the scope of what conduct is criminalized.
