Preventing Prosecutors from Protecting Predators Act of 2026

Key Points

• Prosecutor offices in areas with 100,000+ people that get certain federal anti-violence grants would have to send yearly reports to the U.S. Attorney General.
• Reports would track how many serious sex and domestic violence cases were referred, how many were not charged, and the reasons prosecutors gave for not moving forward.
• The reports would also include bail decisions and what happened after release (like rearrest or missing court), plus outcomes like pleas, trials, dismissals, and sentences.
• The Attorney General would set one standard format for everyone, send the data to Congress, and post it on a public website.
• Offices that don’t file the report could lose 25% to 50% of their grant money, and offices that decline to prosecute over half of referrals could face corrective plans or reduced grants.
