At present, the offense of sodomy
is not on the statute books here. 1t
Is carried over under the common
law and provides a maximum pen
atty of $1,000 or imprisonment for
not more than five years or both, re-
gardless of whether the victim is a
child or adult.
Because the offense is vaguely de-
fined and hard to prove under the
common law, few cases of this type
ever come to court, and convictions
are even fewer.
Offense Is Defined.
The proposed new law defines the
offense specifically and is much
broader than the common law.
Mr.. Fay said the proposed "sex
psychopath" statute would be a
composite Of similar laws in other
States, adjusted to fit the needs Of
this community.
Generally, laws on the books of
seven State provide that certain
types of offenders are committed by
the courts to mental hospitals until
they are considered cured of their
mental illness. In some States they

such an offense.

This will deal with commitment to

as "sex psychopaths."
Under the present law, indecent

are then returned to the courts for
possible trial on the offense which
led to their commitment.
This type of law, which already
has been tested in the courts, has
been urged strongly by medical,
police and legal authorities here.
In preparing the proposed statute,
MIR. Fay got in touch with legal
authorities in the States with sex
psychopath" statutes to find out
how they operated.
Began Work Last Summer.
He said the replies indicated the
presence of such a law on the books
appeared to be strong deterrent to
potential offenders.
Mr.. Fay and Assistant United
States Attorney Sidney Sachs be-
gan working on the proposed statute
last summer. At the time, it was
brought out that although an aver
age of ITS complaints against sex
offenders reach the Police Depart
ment's Juvenile Bureau year, only
five cases have resulted in indict-
ment in the past two and a halt
years because of the inadequacy OF
existing District laws.
Spokesman for both Senate and
House District Committees have
predicted speedy consideration for
the bill when 1t reaches Congress.
Unless member of Congress asks
for draft, the bill will be sent to
the Justice Department and from
there to the Budget Bureau.
Mr.. Fay emphasized that the first
draft is subject to change. Before
presenting it. he said, he wants to
confer with the police, medical and
prison authorities. He said he also
