SEC. 112. FEDERAL PENALTIES.

    (a) Rape and Aggravated Rape.--Pursuant to its authority under 
section 994(p) of title 28, United States Code, the United States 
Sentencing Commission shall amend its sentencing guidelines to provide 
that a defendant convicted of aggravated sexual abuse under section 
2241 of title 18, United States Code, or sexual abuse under section 
2242 of title 18, United States Code, shall be assigned a base offense 
level under chapter 2 of the sentencing guidelines that is at least 4 
levels greater than the base offense level applicable to criminal 
sexual abuse under the guidelines in effect on November 1, 1992, or 
otherwise shall amend the guidelines applicable to such offenses so as 
to achieve a comparable minimum guideline sentence. In amending such 
guidelines, the Sentencing Commission shall review the appropriateness 
of existing specific offense characteristics or other adjustments 
applicable to such offenses, and make such changes as it deems 
appropriate, taking into account the severity of rape offenses, with or 
without aggravating factors; the unique nature and duration of the 
mental injuries inflicted on the victims of such offenses; and any 
other relevant factors.
    (b) Effect of Amendment.--If the sentencing guidelines are amended 
after the effective date of this section, the Sentencing Commission 
shall implement the instructions set forth in subsection (a) so as to 
achieve a comparable result.

    ``(a) In General.--Notwithstanding the terms of section 3663 of 
this title, and in addition to any other civil or criminal penalty 
authorized by law, the court shall order restitution for any offense 
under this chapter.
    ``(b) Scope and Nature of Order.--(1) The order of restitution 
under this section shall direct that--
            ``(A) the defendant pay to the victim (through the 
        appropriate court mechanism) the full amount of the victim's 
        losses as determined by the court, pursuant to paragraph (2); 
        and
            ``(B) the United States Attorney enforce the restitution 
        order by all available and reasonable means.
    ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term `full amount of the 
victim's losses' includes any costs incurred by the victim for--
            ``(A) medical services relating to physical, psychiatric, 
        or psychological care;
            ``(B) physical and occupational therapy or rehabilitation;
            ``(C) necessary transportation, temporary housing, and 
        child care expenses;

        fees, interpretive services, and court costs; and
            ``(F) any other losses suffered by the victim as a 
        proximate result of the offense.
    ``(3) Restitution orders under this section are mandatory. A court 
may not decline to issue an order under this section because of--
            ``(A) the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
            ``(B) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, 
        receive compensation for his or her injuries from the proceeds 
        of insurance or any other source.
    ``(4)(A) Notwithstanding the terms of paragraph (3), the court may 
take into account the economic circumstances of the defendant in 
determining the manner in which and the schedule according to which the 
restitution is to be paid.
    ``(B) For purposes of this paragraph, the term `economic 
circumstances' includes--
            ``(i) the financial resources and other assets of the 
        defendant;
            ``(ii) projected earnings, earning capacity, and other 
        income of the defendant; and
            ``(iii) any financial obligations of the defendant, 
        including obligations to dependents.
    ``(C) An order under this section may direct the defendant to make 
a single lump-sum payment or partial payments at specified intervals. 
The order shall also provide that the defendant's restitutionary 
obligation takes priority over any criminal fine ordered.
    ``(D) In the event that the victim has recovered for any amount of 
loss through the proceeds of insurance or any other source, the order 
of restitution shall provide that restitution be paid to the person who 
provided the compensation, but that restitution shall be paid to the 
victim for the victim's other losses before any restitution is paid to 
any other provider of compensation.
    ``(5) Any amount paid to a victim under this section shall be set 
off against any amount later recovered as compensatory damages by the 
victim from the defendant in--
            ``(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and
            ``(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by 
        the law of the State.
    ``(c) Proof of Claim.--(1) Within 60 days after conviction and, in 
any event, no later than 10 days prior to sentencing, the United States 
Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee), after consulting 
with the victim, shall prepare and file an affidavit with the court 
listing the amounts subject to restitution under this section. The 
affidavit shall be signed by the United States Attorney (or the United 
States Attorney's delegee) and the victim. Should the victim object to 
any of the information included in the affidavit, the United States 
Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) shall advise the 
victim that the victim may file a separate affidavit and shall provide 
the victim with an affidavit form which may be used to do so.
    ``(2) If no objection is raised by the defendant, the amounts 
attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to subsection (1) shall be 
entered in the court's restitution order. If objection is raised, the 
court may require the victim or the United States Attorney (or the 
United States Attorney's delegee) to submit further affidavits or other 
supporting documents, demonstrating the victim's losses.
    ``(3) If the court concludes, after reviewing the supporting 
documentation and considering the defendant's objections, that there is 
a substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity of the 
records submitted, the court may require additional documentation or 
hear testimony on those questions. Any records filed, or testimony 
heard, pursuant to this section, shall be in camera in the judge's 
chambers.
    ``(4) In the event that the victim's losses are not ascertainable 
10 days prior to sentencing as provided in subsection (c)(1), the 
United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) shall 
so inform the court, and the court shall set a date for the final 
determination of the victim's losses, not to exceed 90 days after 
sentencing. If the victim subsequently discovers further losses, the 
victim shall have 60 days after discovery of those losses in which to 
petition the court for an amended restitution order. Such order may be 
granted only upon a showing of good cause for the failure to include 
such losses in the initial claim for restitutionary relief.
    ``(d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the term `victim' 
includes the individual harmed as a result of a commission of a crime 
under this chapter, including, in the case of a victim who is under 18 
years of age, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased, the legal 
guardian of the victim or representative of the victim's estate, 
another family member, or any other person appointed as suitable by the 
court: Provided, That in no event shall the defendant be named as such 
representative or guardian.''.

    The Federal Rules of Evidence are amended by inserting after rule 
412 the following new rule:
``Rule 412A. Evidence of victim's past behavior in other criminal cases
    ``(a) Reputation and Opinion Evidence Excluded.--Notwithstanding 
any other law, in a criminal case, other than a sex offense case 
governed by rule 412, reputation or opinion evidence of the past sexual 
behavior of an alleged victim is not admissible.
    ``(b) Admissibility.--Notwithstanding any other law, in a criminal 
case, other than a sex offense case governed by rule 412, evidence of 
an alleged victim's past sexual behavior (other than reputation and 
opinion evidence) may be admissible if--
            ``(1) the evidence is admitted in accordance with the 
        procedures specified in subdivision (c); and
            ``(2) the probative value of the evidence outweighs the 
        danger of unfair prejudice.
    ``(c) Procedures.--(1) If the defendant intends to offer evidence 
of specific instances of the alleged victim's past sexual behavior, the 
defendant shall make a written motion to offer such evidence not later 
than 15 days before the date on which the trial in which such evidence 
is to be offered is scheduled to begin, except that the court may allow 
the motion to be made at a later date, including during trial, if the 
court determines either that the evidence is newly discovered and could 
not have been obtained earlier through the exercise of due diligence or 
that the issue to which such evidence relates has newly arisen in the 
case. Any motion made under this paragraph shall be served on all other 
parties and on the alleged victim.
    ``(2) The motion described in paragraph (1) shall be accompanied by 
a written offer of proof. If necessary, the court shall order a hearing 
in chambers to determine if such evidence is admissible. At the 
hearing, the parties may call witnesses, including the alleged victim 
and offer relevant evidence. Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of rule 
104, if the relevancy of the evidence which the defendant seeks to 
offer in the trial depends upon the fulfillment of a condition of fact, 
the court, at the hearing in chambers or at a subsequent hearing in 
chambers scheduled for such purpose, shall accept evidence on the issue 
of whether such condition of fact is fulfilled and shall determine such 
issue.
    ``(3) If the court determines on the basis of the hearing described 
in paragraph (2), that the evidence the defendant seeks to offer is 
relevant, not excluded by any other evidentiary rule, and that the 
probative value of such evidence outweighs the danger of unfair 
prejudice, such evidence shall be admissible in the trial to the extent 
an order made by the court specifies the evidence which may be offered 
and areas with respect to which the alleged victim may be examined or 
cross-examined. In its order, the court should consider (A) the chain 
of reasoning leading to its finding of relevance, and (B) why the 
probative value of the evidence outweighs the danger of unfair 
prejudice given the potential of the evidence to humiliate and 
embarrass the alleged victim and to result in unfair or biased jury 
inferences.''.

case. Any motion made under this paragraph shall be served on all other 
parties and on the plaintiff.

this section shall direct that--
            ``(A) the defendant pay to the victim (through the 
        appropriate court mechanism) the full amount of the victim's 
        losses as determined by the court, pursuant to paragraph (2); 
        and
            ``(B) the United States Attorney enforce the restitution 
        order by all available and reasonable means.

victim's losses' includes any costs incurred by the victim for--

            ``(E) any other losses suffered by the victim as a 
        proximate result of the offense.
    ``(3) A restitution order under this section is mandatory. A court 
may not decline to issue an order under this section because of--
            ``(A) the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
            ``(B) the fact that victim has, or is entitled to, receive 
        compensation for his or her injuries from the proceeds of

account the economic circumstances of the defendant in determining the 
manner in which and the schedule according to which the restitution is 
to be paid, including--

        income of the defendant; and

        including obligations to dependents.
    ``(B) An order under this section may direct the defendant to make 
a single lump-sum payment, or partial payments at specified intervals. 
The order shall provide that the defendant's restitutionary obligation 
takes priority over any criminal fine ordered.
    ``(C) If the victim has recovered for any amount of loss through 
the proceeds of insurance or any other source, the order of restitution 
shall provide that restitution be paid to the person who provided the 
compensation, but that restitution shall be paid to the victim for the 
victim's other losses before any restitution is paid to any other 
provider of compensation.
    ``(5) Any amount paid to a victim under this section shall be set 
off against any amount later recovered as compensatory damages by the 
victim from the defendant in--
            ``(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and
            ``(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by 
        the law of the State.

any event, no later than 10 days prior to sentencing, the United States 
Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee), after consulting 
with the victim, shall prepare and file an affidavit with the court 
listing the amounts subject to restitution under this section. The 
affidavit shall be signed by the United States Attorney (or the United 
States Attorney's delegee) and the victim. Should the victim object to 
any of the information included in the affidavit, the United States 
Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) shall advise the 
victim that the victim may file a separate affidavit and shall provide 
the victim with an affidavit form which may be used to do so.
    ``(2) If no objection is raised by the defendant, the amounts 
attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be 
entered in the court's restitution order. If objection is raised, the 
court may require the victim or the United States Attorney (or the 
United States Attorney's delegee) to submit further affidavits or other 
supporting documents, demonstrating the victim's losses.
    ``(3) If the court concludes, after reviewing the supporting 
documentation and considering the defendant's objections, that there is 
a substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity of the 
records submitted, the court may require additional documentation or 
hear testimony on those questions. Any records filed, or testimony 
heard, pursuant to this subsection, shall be in camera in the judge's 
chambers.
    ``(4) If the victim's losses are not ascertainable 10 days prior to 
sentencing as provided in subsection (c)(1), the United States Attorney 
(or the United States Attorney's delegee) shall so inform the court, 
and the court shall set a date for the final determination of the 
victim's losses, not to exceed 90 days after sentencing. If the victim 
subsequently discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60 days 
after discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for an 
amended restitution order. Such an order may be granted only upon a 
showing of good cause for the failure to include such losses in the 
initial claim for restitutionary relief.
    ``(d) Restitution and Criminal Penalties.--An award of restitution 
to the victim of an offense under this chapter shall not be a 
substitute for imposition of punishment under sections 2261 and 2262.
    ``(e) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the term `victim' 
includes the person harmed as a result of a commission of a crime under 
this chapter, including, in the case of a victim who is under 18 years 
of age, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased, the legal guardian of 
the victim or representative of the victim's estate, another family 
member, or any other person appointed as suitable by the court, but in 
no event shall the defendant be named as such a representative or 
guardian.

        given to the person against whom the order is sought sufficient 
        to protect that person's right to due process.
    ``(2) In the case of an order under paragraph (1) that is issued ex 
parte, notice and opportunity to be heard shall be provided within the 
time required by State law, and in any event within a reasonable time 
after the order is issued, sufficient to protect the respondent's due 
process rights.
    ``(c) Cross- or Counter-Petition.--A protection order issued by a 
State court against one who has petitioned, filed a complaint, or 
otherwise filed a written pleading for protection against abuse by a 
spouse or intimate partner is not entitled to full faith and credit 
if--

        written pleading was filed seeking such a protection order; or
            ``(2) if a cross- or counter-petition has been filed, if

                        TITLE III--CIVIL RIGHTS

SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Civil Rights Remedies for Gender-
Motivated Violence Act''.

SEC. 302. CIVIL RIGHTS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) crimes motivated by the victim's gender constitute bias 
        crimes in violation of the victim's right to be free from 
        discrimination on the basis of gender;
            (2) current law provides a civil rights remedy for gender 
        crimes committed in the workplace, but not for gender crimes 
        committed on the street or in the home;
            (3) State and Federal criminal laws do not adequately 
        protect against the bias element of gender-motivated crimes, 
        which separates these crimes from acts of random violence, nor 
        do those laws adequately provide victims of gender-motivated 
        crimes the opportunity to vindicate their interests;
            (4) existing bias and discrimination in the criminal 
        justice system often deprives victims of gender-motivated 
        crimes of equal protection of the laws and the redress to which 
        they are entitled;
            (5) gender-motivated violence has a substantial adverse 
        effect on interstate commerce, by deterring potential victims 
        from traveling interstate, from engaging in employment in 
        interstate business, and from transacting with business, and in 
        places involved, in interstate commerce;
            (6) gender-motivated violence has a substantial adverse 
        effect on interstate commerce, by diminishing national 
        productivity, increasing medical and other costs, and 
        decreasing the supply of and the demand for interstate 
        products;
            (7) a Federal civil rights action as specified in this 
        section is necessary to guarantee equal protection of the laws 
        and to reduce the substantial adverse effects of gender-
        motivated violence on interstate commerce; and
            (8) victims of gender-motivated violence have a right to 
        equal protection of the laws, including a system of justice 
        that is unaffected by bias or discrimination and that, at every 
        relevant stage, treats such crimes as seriously as other 
        violent crimes.
    (b) Right To Be Free From Crimes Of Violence.--All persons within 
the United States shall have the right to be free from crimes of 
violence motivated by gender (as defined in subsection (d)).
    (c) Cause of Action.--A person (including a person who acts under 
color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of any 
State) who commits a crime of violence motivated by gender and thus 
deprives another of the right declared in subsection (b) shall be 
liable to the party injured, in an action for the recovery of 
compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive and declaratory relief, 
and such other relief as a court may deem appropriate.
    (d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
            (1) the term ``crime of violence motivated by gender'' 
        means a crime of violence committed because of gender or on the 
        basis of gender; and
            (2) the term ``crime of violence'' means an act or series 
        of acts that would come within the meaning of State or Federal 
        offenses described in section 16 of title 18, United States 
        Code, whether or not those acts have actually resulted in 
        criminal charges, prosecution, or conviction and whether or not 
        those acts were committed in the special maritime, territorial, 
        or prison jurisdiction of the United States.
    (e) Limitation and Procedures.--
            (1) Limitation.--Nothing in this section entitles a person 
        to a cause of action under subsection (c) for random acts of 
        violence unrelated to gender or for acts that cannot be 
        demonstrated, by a preponderance of the evidence, to be 
        motivated by gender (within the meaning of subsection (d)).
            (2) No prior criminal action.--Nothing in this section 
        requires a prior criminal complaint, prosecution, or conviction 
        to establish the elements of a cause of action under subsection 
        (c).

SEC. 303. ATTORNEY'S FEES.

    Section 722 of the Revised Statutes (42 U.S.C. 1988) is amended in 
the last sentence--
            (1) by striking ``or'' after ``Public Law 92-318,''; and
            (2) by inserting ``, or title III of the Violence Against 
        Women Act of 1993,'' after ``1964''.

SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING PROTECTION OF THE PRIVACY OF 
              RAPE VICTIMS.

    (a) Findings and Declaration.--The Congress finds and declares 
that--
            (1) there is a need for a strong and clear Federal response 
        to violence against women, particularly with respect to the 
        crime of rape;
            (2) rape is an abominable and repugnant crime, and one that 
        is severely underreported to law enforcement authorities 
        because of its stigmatizing nature;
            (3) the victims of rape are often further victimized by a 
        criminal justice system that is insensitive to the trauma 
        caused by the crime and are increasingly victimized by news 
        media that are insensitive to the victim's emotional and 
        psychological needs;
            (4) rape victims' need for privacy should be respected;
            (5) rape victims need to be encouraged to come forward and 
        report the crime of rape without fear of being revictimized 
        through involuntary public disclosure of their identities;
            (6) rape victims need a reasonable expectation that their 
        physical safety will be protected against retaliation or 
        harassment by an assailant;
            (7) the news media should, in the exercise of their 
        discretion, balance the public's interest in knowing facts 
        reported by free news media against important privacy interests 
        of a rape victim, and an absolutist view of the public interest 
        leads to insensitivity to a victim's privacy interest; and
            (8) the public's interest in knowing the identity of a rape 
        victim is small compared with the interests of maintaining the 
        privacy of rape victims and encouraging rape victims to report 
        and assist in the prosecution of the crime of rape.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that news 
media, law enforcement officers, and other persons should exercise 
restraint and respect a rape victim's privacy by not disclosing the 
victim's identity to the general public or facilitating such disclosure 
without the consent of the victim.
