Gov. Ron DeSantis said he doesn’t think the current U.S. Supreme Court would uphold the 2008 decision ruling that barred the death penalty in rape cases.

The "rape loophole" bill would increase the penalty for raping a woman while intoxicated to a first-degree felony with up to a 30-year prison sentence, up from a second-degree felony and as many as 15 years in prison.

The average age of those who were raped was around 15, and their assailants were typically older partners. Women who were raped had a greater likelihood of long-term health problems.
