According to Californian law, the rapists or child molesters/pedophiles get injection

Question

of some medication or chemicals that eliminate the sexual desire of the criminals who committed such crimes as above.

Is it true?

Answer 1

Yes some states require it. Florida also requires it for OBGYN doctors for some odd reason.

Answer 2

There is chemical castration, but I don't if it has ever been used forcibly against an individual in California.

Answer 3

It can be given to men with advanced prostate cancer to slow the growth of hormone dependent tumors (at least for a while).

It does eliminate sexual desire and performance - it the treatment is given intermittently (as is sometimes the case), desire does come back.

Whether this is true for a sexually aberrant population remains to be determined.

Answer 4

Here is the law in the California penal code:

AB 3339 (Hoge): Chapter 596: Chemical Castration. (Repeals and adds Penal Code Section 645.)

Existing law specifies the punishment for s*x offenses where the victim is a child, and provides that the court may direct an operation to be performed upon the offender for the prevention of procreation where the victim is a female under the age of 10 years.

This bill repeals the latter provision and provides instead that any person guilty of a first conviction of specified s*x offenses, where the victim is under 13 years of age, may be punished by medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment, upon parole, in addition to any other punishment prescribed by law. The bill requires this punishment upon a second conviction.

And to Steven C.- Hear is the Florida law. Being a doctor is not a crime. What you said is outrageous

The new Florida statute authorizes a trial judge to sentence any defendant who is CONVICTED of sexual battery to receive MPA.[19] If the defendant is convicted of sexual battery and has a prior conviction for sexual battery, the trial court is required to impose a sentence of MPA administration.[20] The administration of MPA is, however, contingent upon a determination by a court-appointed medical expert that the defendant is an appropriate candidate for the weekly drug injections. Likewise, the continued use of MPA is not required when a determination is made that it is not medically appropriate.[21] The trial judge must specify the duration of the treatment that, in the discretion of the court, may be for life

Answer 5

It is available, but rarely used.

Rape is normally a crime of power and control, not desire, so chemical castration would not be effective.

Pedophilia is a mental disorder, chemical castration may be used in this, but again, may not be effective in all cases.

Answer 6

Sorry to quibble Trooper but pedophillia is not a mental illness it is a function of personailty, they are fundamentally wired that way.

Chemical or physical castration does not remove the attraction to children, it just alters the means by which they go about offending
