Accused Child Rapist Could Face Death Penalty Under New Law Signed by DeSantis to Punish Pedophiles
A Florida man faces the possibility of being sentenced to death under a new law that recently went into effect to punish dangerous pedophiles.
Joseph Andrew Giampa, 36, was indicted on Thursday for six counts of sexual battery upon a person under 12 years old and three counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child, according to the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office.
State Attorney William Gladson of the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office declared that his office would pursue the death penalty due to the “severity of the crime and its impact on the community.” Gladson believes Giampa qualifies for the death penalty because of how heinous and cruel his crimes were.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis voiced his support in seeking the death penalty against the child rapist.
“Today, @flsao5 announced that they will seek the death penalty in a case of sexual battery against a child under age 12,” DeSantis wrote in a post on X. “It will be the first case to challenge SCOTUS since I signed legislation to make pedophiles eligible for the death penalty. @flsao5 has my full support.”
