I recently introduced Senate Bill 60 to protect juvenile victims of human trafficking from facing punishment. Many people don’t realize that these children are often faced with criminal charges for the crime of being trafficked/used for prostitution. That is just plain wrong. The focus must be shifted to their well being, safety, and growth if we are going to make meaningful steps toward ending human trafficking and protect our children. I look forward to passing this bill as quickly as possible and I am grateful to my colleagues and supporters for helping to get this bill on the agenda this year.
