Rape Law Upheld TALLAHASSEE Fla (AP) The state Supreme Court has once again upheld the constitutionality of Florida's child rape law letting stand the life sentence imposed on a Pasco County mu for sexually abusing a nine-year-old girl But the 7-0 opinion Thursday sidestepped the question of whether it was proper to impose a death sentence under the law The high court ruled that the law ms not vague and in the case under review did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment because the defendant feces a life sentence not death The court in two previous cases hu stopped short of considering whether death was a proper punishment for raping a child under the age of 12 The court hu overturned two such sentences since the statute wu enacted several years ago but took the action on grounds other than the constitutionality of the punishment The ruling came in the case of Benjamin Harrison who wu convicted of forcing a nine-year-old girl to' perform sexual acts after driving her to a remote ana of Pasco County Harrison contended the sentence which means a mandatory 25 years in prison wu too severe for the crime He also argued that the law wu vague on just what constituted sexual battery The sate Senate narrowly killed a bill this put session which would have eliminated the death penalty for child rapists Sponsors said the punishment was too severe since the law also covered child molestors and actually cut down on prosecution of such criminals Aggravated Assault Charged A 25-year-old mu wu arrested Thursday on a charge of aggravated assault after he reportedly pulled a
