New Mexico Rep. Stefani Lord has proposed a bill suggesting pedophiles should face the death penalty.
Rep. Lord says she was inspired to put forward the bill after the release of hundreds of Jeffrey Epstein documents that revealed the extent to which he abused girls on his Caribbean island, his ranch in her state and around the world.
'When I got elected, I was horrified that every time the legislature tried to pass a soft on crime bill, I would say, ‘Well, can we exempt pedophiles and rapists?’ And every time the Democrats said no,' Lord told Fox News.
'I was horrified, so I went back and said, "You know what? There is no cure for pedophilia. There's no cure for these rapists.
'So we might as well do like Florida did and give them the death penalty.
'There is no life. There's no option for life in prison. You rape a child that is under 18, then you get the death penalty,' she added.
Among those named in the Epstein documents was former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
An Epstein victim claims she was trafficked to Richardson - an allegation he strenuously denies.
Lord wants to broaden the eligibility of child sex victims from those under the age of 13 - the current age in New Mexico - to anyone under the age of 18.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed in a new law in May last year that makes capital punishment a possibility for convicted child rapists.
The first man facing the sentence is currently on trial.
The Epstein documents revealed allegations against Richardson and other prominent US politicians including former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

I mean, I understand her feelings, but that's the argument against it.
Bad news for H.S. sweethearts where one turns 18 before the other.
Anyone who points out the important difference between psychos attracted to prepubescent children and leches attracted to post pubescent teens is excoriated. The psychos need to be offed. The leches given jail time.
Yep - lock them up and let the other prisoners take care of them.....bad enough the Left doesn’t want the death penalty for them - even worse that they don’t want them in prison at all....because they relate so well with the child abusers.
Only God can make a real change in a person (for any sort of wrong/unwanted behavior, the thought or action). Will power and all the Rx, talk or other therapies are only bandaids and at some point no longer help the healing.
All evil in this world is to point to a need for HIM and give people a chance to accept HIS help instead of trying to figure it out on their own, apart from HIM.
Most homosexuals are child rapist. So in reality, this is a way to exterminate homosexuals.
Which is why the law will NEVER pass. Not while filthy, depraved Globohomos rule America. /spit
pedophiles have no redeeming qualities.
they cannot be rehabilitated.
Kill them.
And those that support them.
This includes prosecutors and judges
Any man who finds an 18-year-old girl attractive is a normal hetero male.
And fry ’em.
When laws are actually debated and written out before being passed, exceptions are usually defined. In existing statutory rape charging in various states, the relative age of the two parties is taken into consideration, so that the scenario you described carries less culpability than the statutory rape of a 13-year-old by a 25 or 30-year old or above, which is often the case with "mommy's boyfriend."
That said, any penetration of a pre-pubescent child by an adult for purposes of the adult's sexual gratification, which biologically would be at least a 6-year age difference, should indeed carry the possiblity of the death penalty.
My Rep, NM District 22.
When I was on the grand jury we had a case presented to us, at the request of the girls mother. It was a 16 year old girl and an 18 year old guy. They had dated for a year. The mom found out and called the cops.
Half the women on the grand jury said they had an 18 year old boyfriend when they were 16.
We did not indict. This case was where the mom was pissed off that the guy dumped her daughter.
We had plenty of 30 year olds with 14 year olds as well. Those were indicted without any debate.
Juries are pretty smart.
Good trick, he's dead.
Then what is the escalated punishment if the molester decides that murdering his victim is preferable to being executed?
