Description

DNA analysis upon conviction of certain misdemeanors. Adds misdemeanor violations of 16.1-253.2 (violation of protective orders), 18.2-19 (accessory after the fact), 18.2-60.3 (stalking), 18.2-67.4:1 (infected sexual battery), 18.2-119 (trespass), 18.2-346 (solicitation of prostitution), 18.2-371 (contributing to the delinquency of a minor), 18.2-387 (indecent exposure), or 18.2-387.1 (obscene sexual display) to the list of offenses for which a person convicted of such offense must have a sample of his blood, saliva, or tissue taken for DNA analysis. The bill also requires such sample be taken from every juvenile convicted of or adjudicated delinquent of a misdemeanor violation of 16.2-253.2, 18.2-19, 18.2-60.3, 18.2-67.4 (sexual battery), 18.2-67.4:1, 18.2-67.5 (attempt to commit sexual battery), 18.2-119, 18.2-130 (peeping), 18.2-346, 18.2-387, or 18.2-387.1. Under current law, a sample is not taken for DNA analysis from juveniles convicted or adjudicated delinquent of any misdemeanor offenses and is taken from adults convicted of only five misdemeanor sex offenses: (i) 18.2-67.4, (ii) 18.2-67.4:2 (sexual abuse of a child 13 years of age or older but under 15), (iii) 18.2-67.5, (iv) 18.2-130, or (v) 18.2-370.6 (penetrating the mouth of a child under 13 with the tongue).
