Following the success of her bill targeting human traffickers, Sen. Shannon Grov<\/a>e has introduced companion bi-partisan legislation aimed at those who solicit sex with a minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bakersfield Republican’s Senate Bill 1414<\/a>, which is jointly authored by Democratic Senators Anna Caballero of Merced and Susan Rubio\u00a0<\/strong>of Baldwin Park, seeks to strengthen protections for children by making the act of soliciting, agreeing to engage in, or engaging in any act of commercial sex with a minor, a felony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Grove’s Senate Bill 14 passed, increasing the punishment for pimps and other traffickers, she hinted that more was coming to target the sex trade in minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt takes two criminals to commit the crime of child sex trafficking, a buyer and a seller,\u201d\u00a0said Grove.\u00a0\u201cWith the passage of SB 14, we went after the sellers and now we are going after the buyers, those who are purchasing sex from children.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Anyone who pays to commit brutal crimes against children should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new bill targets those who prey on children. It’s part of an evolving sex trafficking equation, picking off another element of the sex trade.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffickers will not be able to claim innocence because of the victim\u2019s appearance, or similar defenses. If they claim no knowledge or suspicions about the victim, it\u2019s still a felony charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Grove’s new bill passes, the penalty for the crime will go from a misdemeanor to a felony, with more severe sentencing possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political observers described the bill as a “no brainer” that is expected to become law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
