Senate committee supports change in soliciting for crime against nature law

BATON ROUGE – The state law dealing with soliciting a crime against nature should be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor, a Senate committee decided today.

The Judiciary C Commitee voted 4-1 for Senate Bill 381 by Sen. J.P. Morrell, D-New Orleans. The approval sends the bill to the full Senate for debate.
Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Chief Magistrate Gerard Hansen said state law is uneven in how it deals with solicitation for prostitution and crimes against nature.
The bill would make the crime of solicitation for crimes against nature a misdemeanor, the same as the penalty for soliciting for prostitution.
“One is (now) a misdemeanor and one is a felony,” Hansen testified. “There is no logic in that. … This is just a talking crime,” not the specific sexual act.
