California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a new bill into law that comes down hard on child sex offenders.
Chelsea’s Law is the name of the bill that was proposed following the abduction of 17 year old Chelsea King who was sexually assaulted and then killed by John Gardner.
Under the new law, those found guilty of committing a sex crime against a child will face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
“Because of Chelsea, California’s children will be safer. Because of Chelsea, this never has to happen again,” said Arnold Schwarzenegger.
14-year-old Amber Dubois was also a victim of the 31 year old child molester who will spend the rest of his life in prison.
This will impact John Gardner who recently served five of 6 years in prison and violated his parole on numerous occasions.
