Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Pushes Death Penalty For Child Rapists
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is backing legislative efforts in the Sunshine State that would make it easier to execute convicted criminals – including child rapists – ahead of his expected 2024 presidential run.
The two tough-on-crime bills pushed by DeSantis in the Florida State Capitol would authorize the death penalty for some crimes.
The crimes by people who commit sexual battery on children under age 12, and would allow juries to recommend capital punishment by a vote of at least 8-4.

Ron DeSantis also floated the idea of building a prison near Disney’s Florida theme park. The threat, made smiling, came as he vowed to take new steps to assert state control over the special district that oversees the media giant’s property.
The Republican has been fighting with Disney since last year, when the firm criticised a Florida law curtailing gender and sexuality education. The feud has drawn national attention to the possible presidential candidate.
Though Mr DeSantis has not announced plans to run in the 2024 presidential contest, he has raised his profile promising to confront what he describes as a “woke” liberal agenda in education and corporate America.
He turned on Disney after the company, under pressure from its staff, spoke out against the state’s Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which bans education about sexual orientation and gender identity for pupils aged nine and under.
