Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has unveiled a new set of bills that aims to make society safer for children by giving child sexual predators the death penalty.
“If you are raping someone, if you’re molesting someone, you are essentially murdering their soul,” Luna said.
“Those people never actually fully recover. I’ve actually sat on a committee with a very prominent [female House Democrat] who actually talked about the fact that she was molested as a child.”
“And so you can see that it impacts and really hurts people,” Luna said.
Two of her three bills, would require sentences of death or at least life imprisonment for those charged with sexual crimes against children.
A third bill would require guilty verdicts of rape against adults to carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years to life in prison.
Luna said he spoke to President-elect Donald Trump about the bills, who she suggested was enthusiastic about the idea.
“I got the impression that he absolutely is supportive of anything in this sector,” Luna said.
The Florida congresswoman met with Trump over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago along with other members of the House Freedom Caucus.
She said they also discussed Trump signing an executive order levying the death penalty for pedophilia.
“He would be willing to sign an [executive order]. But the fact is, is that it has to go through Congress first. So it would have to come to his desk that way,” she said.
Luna first introduced the bills in the last Congress, but failed to get traction.
She suggested that the death penalty aspect may have put some people off of an issue that otherwise could get wide bipartisan support.
However, she argued that pedophiles “cannot be rehabilitated.”
“If you are going to continue to push forward in a moral society, [then] you need to ensure that people like this, that are predators, are taken off the streets permanently,” Luna said.

Why stop at pedophiles? There are a lot of others that should join them in paying the price for their crimes. That includes the ones deemed not mentally competent. The fact is, there are a large number of violent criminals that are guaranteed to do great harm when they are released.
I am all for it, and if you are not, you are a sick mofu
Included in these bills the stipulation that when found guilty the execution should be carried out within 30 days. No more of this languishing on “death row” for 20 years.
We can start with the illegal aliens that have been caught raping and murdering our women and children. Hell, I’d pay to see them smoked.
This country needs a flushing out of evil. Pedophiles, illegal aliens, criminals of various tribes all need to be eradicated.
Sounds reasonable as children don’t get adult rights of legal culture, so you SHOULD forfeit yours when molesting a child. That’s the tiniest hope of a seed for recovery for these victims.
Politicians should be included too. I realize that would include a lot of democrats and that’s a good thing.
I’d be ok with it but only if there is a stiff penalty added for women who perjure themselves trying to destroy a mans life. Women who lie about rape do a disservice to real rape victims. It’s disrespectful and a slap in the face to other women.
They should get the same penalty as the person they lied about would have gotten have they been convicted
A lot of Democrats are going to be running scared.
I can’t argue with this. What these predators do is unspeakable! Punish them accordingly
Hot Spanish women packing twin AR-15’s.. what not to like. !!
Expand the death penalty to murder, rape, and treason.
Dead criminals don’t commit future crimes.
This doesn’t bode well for school teachers with lavender hair.
With the prospect of long term incarceration of rapists there needs to be a counter-point penalty for women who falsely accuse others of rape. The recent revelation of such a massive false claim made about the Duke Lacrosse team was only made after any statute of limitation had expired.
DUI leading to death = death penalty. Standard DUI= 30 years
I disagree with the kill’em all crowd. Most of these people were hurt as children. Like 99%. So the key is keeping them away from children. They have almost nowhere to go to live or work. Florida has a city of all pedophiles. Life in prison for habitual offenders.
I’m a conservative. Tell me how its ethical for the government to have the legal right to murder its own citizens, under any circumstances. Remember, President Trump, whom I have a lot of respect for, was found guilty for rape in NYC. You know the death penalty will be politicized, so wht supoort it
Should be sentenced to life and other prisoners can abuse them all they want with immunity.
Bring back the death penalty for all serious crimes, murder, rape, treason. Make it public.
My father went to a public hanging about 1915. His lesson learned was to never do anything that would lead to his hanging.
Why are we keeping alive people that can never be released into society?
